About this book
Patent medicine advertising is the target of this series of articles by Samuel Hopkins Adams, first printed in Collier's Weekly, with the introductory piece dated October 7, 1905. The contents name individual products such as Peruna and Liquozone and list sections on false testimonials, claims made to the incurably ill, newspapers that took the advertising money, and contracts that kept papers from printing anything against the trade. One article reports the government's ban on selling Peruna to Indians. The collection closes with an appeal addressed to American women.
