Eno's Fruit Salt, a fizzing effervescent remedy for indigestion and sluggish digestion, was among the most widely advertised patent medicines of the late Victorian and Edwardian years. This poster, titled The Line of Life, presents the product as the thread running through a person's health from birth onward, a pitch that fit the era's faith in regular dosing for "regularity." James Crossley Eno, a Newcastle-born chemist, built the brand in the 1850s, and its bold, text-driven posters helped make British advertising a recognizable art form. Look closely at the line itself, which serves as the poster's central device.
