A History Of 'Snake Oil Salesmen'

— August 26, 2013 | By Lakshmi Gandhi

Made from the oil of the Chinese water snake, which is rich in the omega-3 acids that help reduce inflammation, snake oil in its original form was effective, especially when used to treat arthritis and bursitis. Jagrap/Flickr

"Snake Oil Salesman." The phrase conjures up images of seedy profiteers trying to exploit an unsuspecting public by selling it fake cures. In fact, the Oxford English Dictionary defines snake oil as "a quack remedy or panacea." What the OED does not note, however, is that the history of snake oil is linked to an often forgotten chapter of Asian-American history.

Because the words "snake oil" are so evocative, it has been a favorite go-to phrase for politicians and lobbying groups on both sides of the aisle. Earlier this month, Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell called his opponent in the Republican primary, Tea Party candidate Matt Bevin, a snake oil salesman in a campaign mailer. While campaigning for a second term last year, President Obama referred to the Romney-Ryan tax plan as "trickle-down snake oil" at a rally. In 2008, the Natural Resources Defense Council Action Fund took out full-page ads in The Washington Post to denounce then-President George W. Bush's plan to drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, calling it "100 percent snake oil."

But what, exactly, is snake oil? And why is peddling it such a terrible thing?

The 1800s saw thousands of Chinese workers arriving in the United States as indentured laborers to work on the Transcontinental Railroad. According to historian Richard White's book Railroaded, about 180,000 Chinese immigrated to the United States between 1849 and 1882. The vast majority of the workers came from peasant families in southeastern China and were signed to contracts that ran up to five years for relatively low wages (compared with their white counterparts), wrote David Haward Bain in his book Empire Express.

Among the items the Chinese railroad workers brought with them to the States were various medicines — including snake oil. Made from the oil of the Chinese water snake, which is rich in the omega-3 acids that help reduce inflammation, snake oil in its original form really was effective, especially when used to treat arthritis and bursitis. The workers would rub the oil, used for centuries in China, on their joints after a long hard day at work. The story goes that the Chinese workers began sharing the oil with some American counterparts, who marveled at the effects.

So how did a legitimate medicine become a symbol of fraud? The origins of snake oil as a derogatory phrase trace back to the latter half of the 19th century, which saw a dramatic rise in the popularity of "patent medicines." Often sold on the back pages of newspapers, these tonics promised to cure a wide variety of ailments including chronic pain, headaches, "female complaints" and kidney trouble. In time, all of these false "cures" began to be referred to as snake oil.

As word of the healing powers of Chinese snake oil grew, many Americans wondered how they could make their own snake oil here in the United States. Because there were no Chinese water snakes handy in the American West, many healers began using rattlesnakes to make their own versions of snake oil.

This set the stage for entrepreneur Clark Stanley, aka The Rattlesnake King. In an 1897 pamphlet about Stanley's life and exploits, the former cowboy claimed he had learned about the healing power of rattlesnake oil from Hopi medicine men. He never publicly mentioned Chinese snake oil at all. Stanley created a huge stir at the 1893 World's Exposition in Chicago when he took a live snake and sliced it open before a crowd of onlookers.

Joe Schwarcz, the director of McGill University's Office for Science and Society, described the scene in this 2008 article:

How did a legitimate medicine become a symbol of fraud? Wikimedia Commons

"[Stanley] reached into a sack, plucked out a snake, slit it open and plunged it into boiling water. When the fat rose to the top, he skimmed it off and used it on the spot to create 'Stanley's Snake Oil,' a liniment that was immediately snapped up by the throng that had gathered to watch the spectacle."

There were two major problems with Stanley's claim about his oil:

First, rattlesnake oil was far less effective than the original Chinese snake oil it was trying to emulate. A 1989 letter to The Western Journal of Medicine from psychiatrist and researcher Richard Kunin revealed that the Chinese oil contained almost triple the amount of a vital acid as did rattlesnake oil.

Secondly, Stanley's Snake Oil didn't contain any snake oil at all. The Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 sought to clamp down on the sale of patent medicines and it was that legislation that led to Stanley's undoing. After seizing a shipment of Stanley's Snake Oil in 1917, federal investigators found that it primarily contained mineral oil, a fatty oil believed to be beef fat, red pepper and turpentine. That's right — Stanley's signature product did not contain a drop of actual snake oil, and hundreds of consumers discovered they had been had.

It was probably around then that snake oil became symbolic of fraud. Snake oil salesmen and traveling doctors became stock characters in American Westerns. The first written usage of the phrase appeared in Stephen Vincent Benet's epic 1927 poem John Brown's Body, when the poet refers to "Crooked creatures of a thousand dubious trades ... sellers of snake-oil balm and lucky rings." About 30 years later, playwright Eugene O'Neill referred to snake oil in his 1956 play The Iceman Cometh, when a character suggested that a rival was "standing on a street corner in hell right now, making suckers of the damned, telling them there's nothing like snake oil for a bad burn."

As for what happened to Clark Stanley after it was found that his whole empire was based on a lie? He was fined $20 (that's about $429 in today's dollars) for violating the food and drug act and for "misbranding" his product by "falsely and fraudulently represent[ing] it as a remedy for all pain."

Stanley did not dispute the charges.

Reptiles and Amphibians to Be Honored at SEWE

A valid point is made in the beginning of a recent article in the Post and Courier.  It is true that people generally care about conservation. Millions are willing to do their part to reduce, reuse, and recycle.  They read the stories about hunted elephants and may even shed a tear for the polar bears and their changing homes.  However, it is harder to convince people that it is just as important to defend against the loss of reptile and amphibian species.

New steps are being taken to spread the message, though, and at the 36th annual Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE).

SEWE is a three-day event that celebrates wildlife and nature.  It is a large and eagerly anticipated event each year, drawing in people of all ages. There are a number of different forms of wildlife appreciation to be witnessed over the course of the three days. Fine art shows, educational seminars, sporting demonstrations, and numerous exhibits.  In fact, there are currently as many as 250 exhibitors listed on the SEWE website.

According to the article in the Post and Courier, as organization known as The Orianne Society will be among those attending the event and will bring an important message along regarding the importance of reptiles and amphibians to the environment. There are a few species that will be highlighted by Orianne Society, serving as examples of the tremendous losses that could be suffered if conservation efforts don’t improve.  The Eastern Indigo Snake and the Gopher Tortoise are two such species.

That tortoise is, in fact, one of the most emphasized of the animals to be discussed.  The society focuses on the shelter that the tortoise unintentionally creates for hundreds of other animals living in the same areas. It’s burrowing habits create safe hideouts for as many as 360 other species, according to the experts.

Reptiles and amphibians are amazing animals.  Fears and misunderstanding often slow conservation efforts related to these species, though.  It is a great thing that there are organizations like the Orianne Society to continue spreading the message about the beauty and importance of snakes, turtles, tortoises, lizards, frogs, and other such underappreciated animals.

New Post has been published on https://vacationsoup.com/visit-folly-beach-sc-off-season/

Visit Folly Beach, SC - Off Season!

Most people flock to Folly when it’s warm and sultry. Understandably, the beach is the big draw, and it’s fun to frolic in the ocean and lounge like a lizard on the sand. But, it can be really hot. And sticky. And crowded.

Locals and those in the know have a favorite season - the off-season. For one, it’s quieter. No lines of traffic to get on to the island. No need to wait forever for a table at your favorite restaurant. You can still visit the beach - maybe not to swim - but November through February is mild in South Carolina, and it’s fairly normal for temperatures to be in the 50s and 60s.

Quiet Folly Beach in the Off Season

Add the sun that sparkles on the ocean and miles of open beach, and … well, it’s pretty perfect.

We have open dates at our Water’s Edge town home for the rest of January and most of February. Our rates until March 1 are the lowest of the year, and winter season is a great time to experience Folly.

What to do?

Head to the beach! Stroll - Take a morning or afternoon run. Fly a kite. You’ll see plenty of locals with their dogs. And isn’t it true that any time of year it’s soothing to hear waves break on the shore and smell the salt air?

Look for shark teeth - The best time find them is early in the morning, after high tide, or after a storm.

Take a bike ride -  Head to the east end of the island (about 5 miles from our home). Once you’re there, you will have a great view of the Morris Island Lighthouse and can explore the driftwood-strewn beach.

Try a new restaurant -  Several have opened, including Wiki Wiki Sandbar - a mid century modern restaurant with five unique artist-inspired rooms that combines Hawaiian food with Southern eats.

See Charleston - If you’re here on a weekend, head into Charleston where you can take a tour, head to a show, shop along King Street, or just explore the unique and historic neighborhoods of this beautiful city.

Experience local festivals - There’s always a festival or event. For example, Sunday January 27 is the Lowcountry Oyster Festival, rated one of the top 20 events in the Southeast. Highlights include the oyster shucking and oyster eating contests, live music, a food court with top-rated Charleston restaurants, a children’s area - all in the lawn and gardens of Boone Hall Plantation, a historic antebellum home on the banks of Wampacheone Creek.

Like jazz? -  The 5th annual Charleston Jazz Festival from Jan. 24-27 will bring talented jazz artists to a number of venues to perform everything from swing to salsa, blues to Brazilian.

Wildlife enthusiast? - Those who love wildlife will want to be here from Feb 15-17 for the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition. This is a huge event in Charleston and brings together anyone who loves nature. Fine art, conservation education, demonstrations (sheep and duck herding among them), Jeff Corwin, fashion, petting zoo, food… Tickets are $50 for all three days or $25 per day; Sunday is $15.

So this happened in  Charleston today.

In the midst of the popular Southeastern Wildlife Exposition (SEWE), which brought many many tourists to town, Confederate flags were appeared on top of five different buildings around downtown Charleston on Sunday.  The S.C. Secessionist Party mounted the flags to protest a College of Charleston event featuring activist Bree Newsome, known for removing the Confederate flag from the South Carolina Statehouse ground following the Emanuel AME Church murders. Counter protests erupted Sunday as well. 

And tourists didn’t quite know what was happening.
