Ghost Signs - Diphtheria Cure Horizontal.jpg
This long-lived Downtown Racine ghost sign along Third St. between Main St. and Washington Ave. advertises Dr. Giffin's Diphtheria Cure and Preventive, a patent medicine developed and marketed in 1893 by Neenah physician Dr. L.W. Giffin (1853-1902). At the time, diphtheria, a toxic bacterial infection, was a gruesome killer with no known cause and a plethora of ineffective treatments, including a host of patent medicines "cures." Giffin practiced medicine in Neenah from 1884-1899, and on the sideline produced and marketed his patented Giffin Medicine Co. elixirs, Dr. Giffin's Dihptheria Cure and its successor, Muco-Solvent, from 1893-1902. The medicine on its 1893 debut was marketed as "a sure septic for all diseases of the throat" that could be "procured from any druggist at the trifling cost of $1.00" and "arrest the fatalities of the disease if taken in time." Giffin's 1902 obituary reported that Giffin was "widely known ... throughout the country as the discoverer and maker of a diphtheria cure." An actual cure for diphtheria, a vaccine first developed in France in 1913 and billed as "one of the seven wonders of the modern world," was not widely available until the 1920s.
