Quick relief for severe colds advertises sensational cures
An old advertisement portrays disease as punishment for sin and touts remedies from Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy to Shiloh’s Catarrh and Shiloh’s Cure. It claims rapid recovery for colds, croup, asthma, and consumption with guaranteed results and free trials from local druggists. It lists 50 cent bottles and names L. O. Gale as the selling druggist and S. H. Scallin’s shop for trials.
