Trade card promoting Ayer's Sarsaparilla as prepared by "Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co." of Lowell, Massachusetts and sold by James Mitchell, a merchant in West Eaton, New York. Sarsaparilla is a plant whose root is used is used to make flavorings and medicine. Although sarsaparilla actually may have medicinal properties, such as reducing inflammation and treating joint pain and certain skin diseases, it is not the "blood" cure-all this advertisement claims it to be. The text on back claims Ayer's Sarsaparilla treats "scrofula and all scrofulous, mercurial, and blood disorders." Other ads by Ayer's also named other ailments its sarsaparilla could supposedly treat. Ayer's Sarsaparilla was simply one of many patent medicines at the time that proliferated during the late nineteenth century. Patent medicines are products that are marketed with questionable claims about their medicinal properties. Food and drug regulation acts, beginning with the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, put a stop to the patent medicine industry. The manufacturer of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, Dr. J. C. Ayer & Company, was founded by James Cook Ayer (1818-1878), an American businessman who specialized in making and selling patent medicines. It is thought that Ayer never became a doctor (despite the "Dr." in the company's name), but he did study medicine and apprenticed under several pharmacists. Ayer entered the patent medicine industry after buying the apothecary of one his former mentors in Lowell, MA. In 1843 or 1844, he made his first patent medicine, a cherry-flavored cough syrup called Cherry Pectoral, which was marketed as being able to cure coughs and a host of lung-related illnesses. Things took off from there and Ayer soon introduced other products in the company such as Cathartic Pills (supposedly claimed digestive ailments), Ague Cure (claimed to cure malaria), and Hair Vigor (supposedly recolors gray hair). Ayer's Sarsaparilla was introduced around 1859 and would become the company's most lucrative product. Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co. eventually became one of the most successful patent medicine companies of the time. Trade cards are antique business cards that first became popular during the late seventeenth century in Paris and Lyon, France and London, England. Trade cards were often given by business owners and proprietors to patrons and customers as a way to promote their businesses. Prior to the use of street addresses, some trade cards had maps so clients could locate the associated business. Many of these cards also incorporated elaborate designs, illustrations, and other decorative features. Trade cards became popular in the United States during the nineteenth century in the period after the Civil War. The late nineteenth century also saw the advent of trade card collecting as a hobby. While they are no longer in use, trade cards influenced the formation of trading cards and were the predecessors of modern-day business cards.…
