in relief: on base: "26"
Gallery Label:
Warner's Safe Cure bottles contained a preparation that was marketed as a cure for all diseases and problems relating to the kidneys and the liver. Warner traced all types of disease back to problems with these two organs--even malaria. While the number of diseases that Warner's cured--listed on the label of this bottle and in period advertisements--seem grandiose today, during the 19th century many people regarded doctors with some suspicion, and buying a remedy from a chemist or apothecary was standard practice. Perhaps more so than any other manufacturer of a "cure-all" medicine, Warner used advertising to great effect. His almanacs, distributed by post, contained numerous testimonials from satisfied customers.
