Description
Original trade card forms part of: Collection no. 311, History & Special Collections for the Sciences, Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, UCLA. Back of card describes a news column in the Spencer Weekly Herald in which the Electro-Silicon Liniment was used on a horse who had suffered an accident and had problems walking. After it was used on the horse 10 minutes later the horse was able to walk again almost as well as before the accident took place. The liniment is also described as the greatest pain-killer known and goes further into listing several things in which it can be used for for example swelled joints, rheumatism etc. Front of card depitcs several flowers and it also describes the benefits of using the Electro-Silicon Liniment. Possible benefits are listed as an effective pain-killer for aches and pains, burns and bruises, and can be used on both people and animals. The champion liniment of the world for aches and pains, burns and bruises. A pain-killer that knows no rival. A lightning remedy for man and beast. See what The Spencer Weekly Herald says: some time since in one of its news columns, uninformed or unrequested by us. -"A horse belonging to Myron Butts, stepped on a rolling stone near A. Miller's new barn, and lamed itself so severely that it required 90 minutes to make the distance from there to Mr. Brink's, a half-mile perhaps. An application of ELECTRO-SILICON LINIMENT was made, and in ten minutes, the horse was able to walk nearly as well as before the accident occurred, although at the beginning of the application the animal refused to touch its foot to the ground." Additional card text: Among the long list of Pain-Killers, Reliefs, Panacea's and Curealls that swarm the Drug stores and ornament the fences the country over, you perhaps have tried and sought in vain, relief from some Ache or Pain, Lameness or Soreness, Sprain of limb or Bruise of body. We come not to tell you on this picture card that we have a cure for every ail, but if you will ask those who best know they will tell you that Electro-Silicon Liniment has cured more cases of Swelled Joints, Rheumatism, Stiff Joints, Deformed Limbs, Neuralgia, Paralysis, &c., than any Liniment now in use. It is the king of external remedies. The Greatest Pain-Killer known. SOLD BY DRUGGISTS AND DEALERS EVERYWHERE. ELECTRO-SILICON LINIMENT COMPANY. SPENCER, N. Y. General Depot, C. N. Crittenton, 115 Fulton St., New York.
