Uncle Sam appears here as a doctor prescribing a "Victory Tonic" called Co-operation to cure the strife troubling the nation's factories. The text dismisses rival cures such as "legislative ether," "spirits of discontent," and "agitator's acid" as poisons that nearly killed the patient. Issued in 1917, the year the United States entered World War I, it reflects wartime worry that labor disputes between wage-earners and employers could slow war production. The poster was issued by the National Industrial Conservation Movement, which urged workers and employers to set their differences aside for the war effort.
