EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage American newspaper advertisement from 1889 showcases Elys Cream Balm, a patent medicine that claimed to be the ultimate remedy for various ailments. The captivating woodcut illustration captures the essence of late 19th-century America, with two distinguished men in profile gazing intently at each other. The intricate details of their attire and facial expressions reflect the attention to detail prevalent during this era. The bold typeface used in the ad emphasizes the product's effectiveness in treating colds, allergies, headaches, and even deafness. Elys Cream Balm promised relief from these common afflictions that plagued many individuals during that time. As a piece of history, this advertisement not only reflects societal concerns but also sheds light on the prevalence of patent medicines as popular remedies back then. These products often made grand claims without scientific evidence or regulation. Although we don't know much about the company behind Elys Cream Balm itself due to restrictions on commercial use information for this print by Granger Art on Demand, it serves as a reminder of how advertising has evolved over time and how society's understanding and approach towards healthcare have changed significantly since then.
