medicines were heavily advertised in periodicals during the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It was common for
these advertisements to include testimonials about the product’s
efficacy. This broadside for "Stanton’s Harmless
Headache Powders" is typical for the period. Many times
the product’s benefits were gradually exaggerated. This
product claims it could cure headaches related to "over-eating,
fatigue of body or mind, alcoholic excesses, exposure to the
sun, and the various forms of neuralgia." The broadside
was undoubtedly printed by the manufacturer, but local job
printers could customize them for local drugstores. J.I. Younglove
& Brother was located in the Quigley Building on Bowling
Green’s Fountain Square for many years. |
