EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the late 19th century showcases an intriguing advertisement for Carters Little Liver Pills. The print, now part of a private collection, transports us back to a time when patent medicines were all the rage. Created by Samuel J. Carter in 1868, these pills were formulated as a cure-all remedy for various ailments. The active ingredient, bisacodyl, was believed to possess remarkable healing properties. This advertisement cleverly captures the essence of this medical breakthrough. A majestic crow takes center stage in this artwork, perched proudly on a branch with its beak held high. Its presence symbolizes both wisdom and mystery - qualities that align perfectly with the promises made by Carters Little Liver Pills. The banner prominently displayed beneath the bird's perch boldly declares the product's name and purpose: "Carters Little Liver Pills". It serves as a visual reminder of their effectiveness and reliability. As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of the era's fascination with pharmaceutical advancements. The pills themselves are depicted alongside other medical symbols - an emblematic representation of hope and relief for those seeking solace from their afflictions. While it is important not to mention any commercial use associated with this artwork, we can appreciate its historical significance and artistic beauty. This lithograph stands as a testament to both advertising techniques employed during that period and our enduring curiosity about remedies from days gone by.
