Continuation,
天元養氣圓　Tengen yōkien
主治効能　　Main treatment efficiency
Hepatic encephalopathy, colic pain of liver, gallstones, sunstroke, pain in lower abdomen, lumps in abdomen (cancer), asthma, diarrhea

粒甲丹　Tsubu kōtan
主治効能　　Main treatment efficiency
Exactly same as those listed under "Tengen yokien"
above

Taking a closer look at the other medicines,
"Shoni kempien" and "Kaidatsugan"
- except of the accompanying descriptions, the same disease names are listed.
In other words, practically all four medicines were good for the same diseases.

Most probably, this shop was a medicine manufacturer and distributor.

With regards,
I.Nagy
