This would be the 2nd appearance Jesse White made in the Beverly Hillbillies. First for Richard Deacon. Deacon returns later in the series to play Dr. Klingner, who helps Granny with her "frog-phobia"
Jesse White, who played Mr. Mortimer, was the father of Carole Ita White, who played "Big" Rosie Greenbaum on the TV series "Laverne & Shirley".
Referring to her "rheumatiz medicine," Granny notes that "relief is just a swallow away," quoting the then-popular slogan for Alka-Seltzer.
