Description: Vintage Victorian Trade Card: Collin's Ague cure Rockwell Texas 1883 Year of Publication: c1890 Size: 3" x 5" Condition: very good Collin's Ague Cure was a patent medicine popular in the 19th century, marketed as a remedy for "ague," which was a common term for malaria or intermittent fevers. These fevers were widespread in areas where malaria was prevalent, and medicines like Collin's Ague Cure claimed to relieve symptoms such as chills, fever, and sweats associated with the disease.Typically sold in liquid form, this cure, like many other patent medicines of the time, had an unknown or undisclosed formula, though it likely contained quinine, an effective malaria treatment derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. Collin's Ague Cure was promoted through extensive advertising, including posters and trade cards with bold claims of efficacy. The product was often depicted as a quick and reliable solution for people living in regions prone to malaria outbreaks, especially before the development of regulated medicines.Like many patent medicines, however, Collin's Ague Cure lost popularity in the early 20th century as medical standards improved and regulations, such as the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, were enacted to ensure consumer safety and transparency in labeling.4o
