Subject: Snake Oil Anyone?
Subject: Snake Oil Anyone?
While having the title of Captured and Branded by the Camanche Indians in the Year 1860: a true narrative, this small document is actually an advertisement for that book plus an aboriginal 'remedy' that the author purports will cure all sorts of things: blood disease, worms, dropsy, rheumatism.
Mr. Eastman's pitch is that he discovered a secret elixir while working as a slave for a Comanche medicine man named. The text is complete, in French and English, with testimonials and advertisements for sales reps.
It should be noted that the actual book as well as these pamphlets are FICTION. But that shouldn't keep either the casual reader nor the historian from enjoying this short work as it provides valid insight into the attitudes and thinking of North American Anglo society in the late 1800s: what ailments plagued people, as well as what people thought constituted the sources of health and illness.
