VATENT MEDICINES Advertised in Illinois Papers
A report from the seventh annual convention of the association of manufacturers and dealers in proprietary articles notes that the United States hosts over 5,000 proprietary medicines with about 50 firms in the business. Annual business is roughly $22,000,000, with $10,000,000 spent on advertising and a $5,000,000 yearly profit pool among manufacturers. A physician criticizes gullibility, arguing ads drive merit by sales. The Indiana health board article urges immediate action to curb patent medicine advertising but warns of limited funds and the need for health appropriations.
