The History of Patent Medicine

Patent medicine in the u.s at this time very few products were ever actually patented instead they just slapped the word patent on it and sold it from their wagons. These things these all had amazing names like the early english patent medicines i thought you would enjoy some of these bakedmans pectoral drops terlington's balsam of life and of course the troublingly problematic hooper's female pillsYeah just you know again that's the funny thing about it is like they're just so broad uh it's just beyond suspicious but i guess at the time if you have a little alliteration in your title and a snappy label then you're probably people are gonna be like sure
