To market old remedies that have gone out of fashion, or fallen
into discredit, clever manufacturers give them another name and
a new wrapper. Purchasers who go by the label, and they are in
the majority, think that they have found a godsend, and take up
the concoction eagerly.
One is occasionally tempted to have recourse to such a trick, in
the interest of certain old practises, excellent in themselves,
but disqualified by abuse.--CHARLES WAGNER, “The Gospel
of Life.”
