Medical Quackery (1888)

People have always been susceptible to promises of medical miracles. Today’s post is an ad from the 13 April 1888 issue of The Manistee Times-Sentinel.  One Dr. Baker promises to treat successfully “every conceivable form” of a range of illnesses. He promises to prepare his amazing medicines individually for each patient.

It wouldn’t be hard to find similar promises on the Internet today.
