Proprietary medicines flourished in the nineteenth century. As Americans struggled to make sense of the new nation, savvy businesspeople and owners of patent formulas drew on new forms and methods of advertising to increase distribution and profits of such items as cure-alls, elixirs, fever powders, salves and medical devices. With little government regulation or resistance from the very-young professional medical community until the late 1800s, proprietary medicines found a niche in lay usage across the United States due to advertising campaigns that stressed uniqueness, scarcity, efficacy, and a distinctly American quality of the product. This poster visually demonstrates how advertisers linked health to nationalism to legitimate and sell products that, within a century, came to be termed "quackery" and "snake-oil"..

Urban conflagrations, such as the Great Chicago Fire of 1871 and the Great Boston Fire the following year, terrorized the citizens of nineteenth-century American cities. However, urban rebirth in the aftermath of great fires offered a chance to shape the future. Ultimately residents and planners created sweeping changes in the methods of constructing buildings, planning city streets, engineering water distribution systems, underwriting fire insurance, and firefighting itself. Crucible of Fire describes how the practical knowledge gained from fighting nineteenth-century fires gave form and function to modern fire protection efforts. Changes in materials and building design resulted directly from tragedies such as fires in supposedly fireproof hotels. Thousands of buildings burned, millions of dollars were lost, the fire insurance industry faltered, and the nature of volunteerism changed radically before municipal authorities took the necessary actions. The great fires formed a crucible of learning for firefighters, engineers, architects, underwriters, and citizens. Veteran firefighter Bruce Hensler shows how the modern American fire service today is a direct result of the lessons of history and a rethinking of the efficacy of volunteerism in fighting fires. Crucible of Fire is an eye-opening look at today’s fire service and a thorough examination of what firefighters, civic leaders, and ordinary citizens can do to protect their homes and communities from the mistakes of the past.
