At least one of the demons is a Confederate! Let's throw some politics in there, why don't we?

Also, if demons are the cause of your aches and pains, wouldn't you require the services of a priest or a holy roller faith healer? Unless that's holy water in that bottle, it ain't gonna help you much. Besides, I think the tooth demons are just trying to do a cleaning. Those look like dental tools to me.

Otherwise, this ad is a great find. These really old ads sometimes reflect things about the culture that we wouldn't expect.

Wolcott's: Sherman's March to pain relief!

Augh! My head feels like Atlanta! Come to think of it, I have days when I feel like that. Hot. Congested. Too much Coca-Cola. :P

Seeing demons is typical for delirium tremens. This medicine is probably alcohol-based.

No wonder he's smiling. "The exact ingredients of Wolcott's Instant Pain Annihilator (c. 1863) are unknown. But ethyl alcohol and opium figured prominently in the mix." (http://opioids.com/pain-demons.html)

All the medicines back then seemed to have opium, cocaine, or heroine or something just horribly toxic like lead. If you weren't seeing demons before taking that stuff, you will. You will.

I figured it had to be an opiate!

Those are the rosiest fucking cheeks I've ever seen. That's scarier than the little demons.

Hell yes.

I'd prefer a bottle of Jack Daniel's Pain Annihilator.

The nine states of hell make sense on the flag in a divinely comical way, but I didn't know that Hell was originally made of three colonies.
