Description
Dr. Miles' Laxative Tablets. "Because they taste like candy". A young girl wearing a pink headband with bows is smiling with her mouth wide open. In her mouth is one of Dr. Miles' laxative tablets. Patent medicines are compounds promoted and sold as medical cures that do not work as promoted. "Patent medicine" is a misnomer since in most cases, although products might be trademarked, they are not patented. The promotion of patent medicines was one of the first major products highlighted by the advertising industry, and many advertising and sales techniques were pioneered by patent medicine promoters.
