Minard’s Liniment, King of Pain: for Man or Beast
Dr. Levi Minard's Liniment started out in Canada about 170 years ago, and today, it is still sold by Stella Pharmaceuticals. It has been billed as "The King of Pain" and has been sold across Canada and the United States continually since the late 1800s. The story of Minard's Liniment's development, business history, and use, first as a patent medicine and eventually a long-lasting standard product, is described in this article.
