Ramon's Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets is a large color poster from 1898, promoting a patent medicine whose name alone reflects the era's appetite for bold health claims. The record credits the U.S. Printing Co. of Cincinnati with the printing and also lists Russell, Morgan & Co., though that attribution comes from an unverified caption card. Cincinnati was a major center of commercial lithography in the late nineteenth century, and posters like this one were a staple of patent medicine advertising. Such claims went largely unchecked until the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 began to curb them.
