Pratts Healing Ointment for Man and Beast


The proprietor of Pratt’s ointment, like many patent medicine makers, went to extraordinary “lengths” to increase his sales. Memorable graphics were also important and this product did not “horse around” in portraying the product’s virtues for man and his horse. As the advertisement states, Pratt’s Healing Ointment does double duty. It supposedly “cures harness and saddle galls, open wounds, cuts, sores, scratches, burns. Every box guaranteed.”.
