Dalley’s Magical Pain Extractor advert copy exposes fraud
A long promotional notice extols Dalley’s Magical Pain Extractor as a universal cure with no pain or scarring, offering a $10 reward for empty boxes and warning buyers to seek Comstock & Co. branding. It includes warnings about counterfeits, dates from 1843, and claims from physicians about Dr Taylor’s Liverwort Balsam with testimonials of consumption cures.
