EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of history with an advertisement for Allcocks plasters, made in Birkenhead, England. The advert, dating back to 1909, promotes the use of these plasters for ailments such as rheumatism, weak chests, and weak backs.
The image is not just a commercial promotion but a glimpse into the past, showcasing how medical products were marketed over a century ago. The design and wording of the advert reflect the time period it was created in, giving us insight into the language and imagery used to sell healthcare products at that time.
Allcocks plasters were imported and widely used for their supposed healing properties in England during the early 20th century. This particular advertisement appeared in the Illustrated London News on December 11th, 1909.
As we look at this historical photograph today, we are reminded of how far medicine has come since then while also appreciating the simplicity and charm of advertising from days gone by. It serves as a reminder of our progress in healthcare technology and practices while also honoring the traditions and innovations that have shaped modern medicine.
