The Miles Medical Company was founded by Dr Franklin L. Miles 1845-1929 in Elkhart Indiana in 1884 but he sold his interest within a couple years. The Miles company produced many popular remedies including Dr Miles Nervine Dr Miles Pills and Dr Miles Alternative Compound. Competition was fierce within the world of quack medicine with many companies producing advertising gimmicks trade cards or almanacs to promote their cures. While some quack medicines did have active ingredients which alleviated symptoms many were either benign or caused harm. Dr. Miles' New Heart Cure which came out in 1888 supposedly contained the dangerous compound digitalis. Those who sold the medicines were called "snake oil salesmen" using enthusiastic and deceptive sales techniques including "fire and brimstone" sermons theatrical productions and confidence tricks. Today quackery ephemera is highly collectible. Dr. Miles Medical Company
