Victorian Advertising Trade Card — Glenn’s Sulphur Soap — Sulphur Baths / Quack Medicine

Original late-19th-century advertising trade card for Glenn’s Sulphur Soap, promoting sulphur baths and claiming to “cure all skin diseases.”

Front features a charming Victorian engraved illustration with period-dressed figures and a central cherub holding the Glenn’s Sulphur Soap placard — classic medical advertising imagery of the era.

Reverse is densely printed with quack-medicine text, including:

• “Before Using / After Using” complexion illustrations

• Claims for treating skin disease, rheumatism, gout, dandruff, and hair loss

• Additional advertisements for Hale’s Honey of Horehound and Tar and Pike’s Toothache Drops

Printed by C. N. Crittenton, New York, a major 19th-century patent-medicine distributor.

Card stock is solid with honest age wear, light corner rounding, and mild surface toning consistent with age. No major losses. Displays very well.
