He sold elixirs that cured people yellow fever, small pox, and anything under the sun. He became popular in 1882 and died September 1883. He was ALSO born in 1839, but in mid September. His name, or his stage name, was Dr. Robert Bosso. We do not know anything about his parents. I'd like to know more about him even though he was a con man. He came from Northern Italy for sure. We know this after we did the DNA tests. <br /><br />But it makes you wonder what kind of parents did the man have for someone to take advantage of people like that.Carloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518999644735686208noreply@blogger.com
