Publishers urged to welcome patent medicine ads at Detroit meeting
Carl J. Balliett of Safalo New Jersey argued at the Advertising Association convention in Detroit that organized efforts to blacklist popular remedies are harmful. He disputed claims that all medical advertising should be rejected and cited rising sales of proprietary medicines from 1900 to 1912 and that many doctors still prescribe them. He urged publishers to investigate ads for merit, not reject them wholesale, and said the audience largely agreed.
