DATE-SPECIFIC HAPPENINGS
The patent medicine era was wrought with fraud and dangerous products that, in part, led to many of the regulations we know today for our food and medicine. But did you know that some of these patent medicines are still used, and even beloved, today? Learn about the history of some of the dubious elixirs, tonics, and potions of this era as we taste our way through modern reminders of this notorious time.
