EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a piece of history from the late 19th century - medical recipes from Dr. J. H. McLeans Family Almanac, 1874. The image takes us back to an era when advertising played a significant role in promoting various products, including patent medicine. The engraving featured in this photograph is an advertisement for Dr. J. H. McLean's medicinal concoctions, which were claimed to cure a wide range of illnesses and ailments. However, it also sheds light on the darker side of American healthcare at that time - the prevalence of quackery and fraudulent practices. The text within the ad highlights testimonials from individuals who supposedly benefited from Dr. McLean's patent medicine, emphasizing its effectiveness and legitimacy. Yet, behind these claims lies a sense of skepticism as we now know that many such remedies were nothing more than fake or ineffective treatments. Despite its dubious nature, this print serves as a reminder of how far medical science has come since then and how important it is to critically evaluate health-related claims before accepting them blindly. Thanks to The Granger Collection for preserving this fascinating glimpse into America's past and allowing us to reflect upon the evolution of medicine over time.
