HELLO FOLKS!
HERE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION I HAVE THIS RADAM'S MICROBE KILLER JUG.
IT ONCE CONTAINED A USELESS MIXTURE OF A SO CALLED "CURE ALL".
The 1886 patent revealed that Radam manufactured Microbe Killer by mixing powdered sulphur, sodium nitrate, manganese oxide, sandalwood, and potassium chloride then burning the mixture in an oven. The vapours mixed with the vapour from the water located in a closed tank in which the oven sat. After the treated water was allowed to condense and then was filtered to remove any sediment, a tiny amount of wine was added to give the Microbe Killer a light pink tint.The Microbe Killer was so successful because it made its debut just as the link between microbes and disease was first being documented. As science would eventually demonstrate, the Microbe Killer was absolutely useless.
RADAM FIRST PATENTED HIS MICROBE KILLER IN 1886 AND BEGAN SELLING IT BY THE JUG SOON AFTER. BACK IN THE 1880's PRODUCTS THAT CLAIMED TO CURE ALL DISEASES WERE CALLED SNAKE OIL.WILLIAM RADAM ENJOYED GREAT SUCCESS UNTIL THE PASSAGE OF THE FEDERAL FOOD & DRUG ACT OF 1912. RADAM DIED FEB 4, 1902
THIS 120 YEAR OLD JUG IS IN AS FOUND CONDITION. NO CRACKS BUT A FEW CHIPS AS SHOWN.
