Hygienic Whiskey: 1860 - Poster

Hygienic Whiskey? It's either truth in advertising, or there's further truth in the old saying, 'They don't make things like they used to.' Considering this advertisement is dated 1860 – nearly 150 years ago – the latter may very well be true. The ad clearly states – aside from being for medical use! - 'This is to certify, that we have made a chemical examination of a sample of Gilbert & Parsons, Hygienic Whiskey, and have subjected the same to a careful analysis, testing it especially for fousel oil and other deleterious substances which exist in impure whiskey. We further certify that the result of such analysis proves said whiskey to be pure, of full strength, and entirely free from all injurious ad mixture whatever.' Wow! A truly unique vintage image and slice of history that will make a great gift for any lover of those days long gone by.
