Pessaries first marketed The chemist W. J. Rendell began making up quinine and cacao-butter pessaries in about 1880, which he distributed among the poor who lived around the Clerkenwell area of London, where his shop was situated. The demand soon became so great that producing the suppositories became a full time job. Rendell, in common with many of the conception pioneers in the nineteenth-century, was a convinced freethinker: when he advertised himself in Bradlaugh's National Reformer in 1885 he styled himself "M.N.S.S." (member of the National Secular Society). From The Illustrated Book of Sexual Records. © 1974, 1982, 1997-2001 G.L.
