EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this advertisement for Allcocks Porous Plasters, a remedy for various ailments that was widely used during the First World War. Dated back to 1915, this advertisement from the Illustrated London News Ltd, featuring the image of a quack doctor with a caring expression, assures readers that Allcocks Porous Plasters offer relief from aches and pains, including rheumatism in the shoulders, stiffness or soreness of muscles, and even prevent coughs, colds, weak lungs, and restore energy. The porous plasters, which come in patches or pills, were believed to have unique healing properties, making them a popular choice for soldiers and civilians alike during the trying times of the war. Thomas Allcock and Brandreth's Allcocks Porous Plasters, as they were known, were a trusted name in medical circles, offering comfort and relief to those in need. This advertisement, with its nostalgic charm and promise of healing, transports us back to a time when faith in the power of medicine was unwavering, and the belief in the healing properties of natural remedies was deeply rooted.
