OPIATE PAIN KILLER PATENT MEDICINE POSTER
- from our Affiliates
Vegetable Pain Killer was patented by Perry Davis (Providence, RI, USA) in 1845. It is believed to be the first nationally advertised remedy specifically for pain - as distinct from a particular disorder. Pain Killer was distributed by Christian missionaries around the world. In its heyday, Perry Davis' VEGETABLE ELIXIR was widely regarded as a wonder drug. Its ingredients, mainly OPIATES and ethyl alcohol, were entirely natural. The concoction was created by Perry Davis in 1840. Since Perry Davis Pain Killer was a registered trade brand name, there was no legal requirement to make its ingredients public on the bottle.
