Even in 1894, we knew tobacco and nicotine was not good for us, evidenced by this unusual ad for an elixir called No-To-Bac that says "It kills the tobacco habit in every form and makes weak men strong". A powerful image of a young man dressed as a Roman conqueror calling himself King No-To-Bac, standing victorious over his conquest wearing a hat labeled "nicotine". No-To-Bac was a chewing gum containing licorice, gentian, guaiac, and a salt (possibly ammonium chloride) and was sold in pharmacies. There is a similar ad accessioned to the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Condition shows a small paper breech under the sword, and a light fold mark midway. Marked "1894 by H. L. Kramer Treasurer The Sterling Remedy Co.". Condition: (8.0). Dimensions: Frame: 19 - 1/2" x 15 - 1/2".
