Snake Oil Advertisement Vintage Photograph

Snake Oil Advertisement Vintage Photograph - Clark & Stanley's snake oil liniment. Cures frost bites, chills, bruises, sore throat, bites of animals, insects and reptiles. It is good for everything a liniment should be good for. It gives immediate relief and it is only 50 cents. A wonderful pain destroying compound. The strongest and best liniment known for the cure of all pain and lameness. Used external only for rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica, lame back, lumbago, contracted muscles, toothache, sprains and swellings. Too bad the Food and Drug Administration had to come along and ban good medicine like this one! They certainly don't make them like they use to! I love all this old exaggerated advertising. You can still find snake oil in traditional pharmacy stores and is still used as a pain reliever for joint pain and does contain inflammation reducing properties. In 1936 W.C. Fields portrayed a man selling snake oil, a cure for hoarseness. In Pete's Dragon, the pushy, fraudulant snake oil salesman was played by Jim Dale.

About the Image
Each image is matted behind an inchesold inches and slightly distressed frame, and put under safety plexiglass. We also offer each image unframed. A great deal of time and attention has been spent developing this collection. Some of these images show the wear of time, and some reveal to us that the art was not quite as sharp and precise as it is today. Each image does, however allow us to let our imaginations return to those earlier times of struggle, victory, ingenuity, and thrift.
