It was a time of Redfern's Indian Tonic and Hirsch's Ambition Tablets, of liniments and cure-alls, of pills and powders and the occasional health potion.Step inside this book and see the lure of the ads, almanacs, trade cards and testimonials that sold a city, as well as a nation, on the idea of do-it-yourself medication. Discover the story of a Dayton traveling medicine show, a failed cure that caused a young woman to be murdered, and a dead man's testimonial of how he was feeling much better after taking a stimulating elixir.Here, in all its original color, is the history of the reckless and robust golden age of patent medicines in the Gem City.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurt Dalton has written over 20 books on the history of Dayton.
