| Additional Information | A series of theatrically displayed pastoral views were used to promote products marketed by Dr. Kilmer & Co. of Binghamton, New York. A maritime setting has been chosen for the Ocean-Weed Heart Remedy, which was recommended if the "heart thumps after sudden effort, skips beats or flutters," as well as for edema, vertigo, neuralgia, and other ailments. William H. Helfand, from 'The Picture of Health: Images of Medicine and Pharmacy from the William H. Helfand Collection' (1991), p. 114. |
