Medical advertising

Description

These are clipped advertisements of 19th century treatments and cures for almost any condition before there was any federal oversight. False hope was peddled to unsuspecting sufferers of deafness, blindness, cancer, paralysis, tuberculosis and kidney disease among other conditions. These false claims kept patients away from potentially valuable treatments and further reduced faith in any medical therapy.
