Patent medicine advertisements like these, for Warner's Safe Cure and Van Wert's Liver Pellets, were a familiar sight on American walls, fences and newspaper pages in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Warner's Safe Cure, a kidney and liver remedy promoted heavily by its Rochester, New York, makers, claimed to treat a long list of ailments, while Van Wert's pellets were sold as a cure for constipation and related complaints. Worth noticing is how the copy leans on bold claims and testimonials rather than evidence, a hallmark of an era before federal rules required accurate labeling of drug ingredients and effects.
