Description: In 1887 an Austin, Texas farmer William Radam was issued a U.S. patent for “a new and improved fumigating composition for preserving and purifying purposes.” The elixir was said to “kill all fungus, germs, parasites, and other matter producing fermentation or decay.” Despite the fact his patent did not mention human consumption, Radam, was convinced he had invented the remedy to all the ills of mankind. Radam’s concoction of water laced with small amounts of hydrochloric and sulfuric acid was an international commercial success that saw him open up 17 factories across the U.S. He became a wealthy man, moving from Austin to a Fifth Avenue mansion in Manhattan until his death in 1902.

Description: A strange and captivating emblem from the world of 19th-century pseudoscience, this trademark image for Wm. Radam’s Microbe Killer features a man bludgeoning a skeleton—symbolizing death or disease—with a spiked club. The scene, surrounded by swirling lines and a crest-shaped frame, serves as both branding and allegory. With cracked textures and vintage serif lettering, this design captures the theatrical spirit of patent medicine advertising during an era when bold visuals and bigger claims ruled the bottle.
