Artist's Description
Ever wonder where the term Snake oil comes from?
It all started on 1879, when a cowboy of 11 years, named Clark Stanley studied under a Hopi medicine man in the Walpi, Arizona. Or that's what he said. From him, he learned the "secrets of Snake Oil". A medicine that can cure so many different kinds of ailments. With the help of a Boston druggist, he began to market the liniment at Western medicine shows.
By 1893, he demonstrated at the World's Colombian Exposition in Chicago, using a number of rattlesnakes as a way to draw in attention. After that he went to create production facilities in Beverly, MA, and Providence, RI.
However it came to an end in 1916, as it went through the Food and Drug act (created in 1906). Where they analyzed it, and found out it was nothing more than mineral oil, capsaicin (from chili peppers), and turpentine. It was found useless, it had no value, and cured nothing. He was fined $20 (about $560 in 2019).
Ever since then...
About Mike Savad
My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
