Two newspaper advertisements for Pabst Malt Extract sit side by side here, and they show how a bottled tonic from the late 1800s was sold to the public. Malt extract was marketed as a nourishing supplement, often pitched to mothers, invalids and anyone recovering from illness or worn down by overwork. The copy in ads like these leaned on claims of strength and health that would draw a sharp eye today, which makes them useful for seeing how patent-style medicines reached readers through the press.
