They advertised their product with the slogan "as palatable as milk." Mothers in the 1930s were given strict instructions as to how to get their babies to swallow the stuff straight. Scott and Bowne partly solved the problem by producing an emulsion - a mixture of 50 percent oil with sweet glycerin and other ingredients. Throughout its history, alongside any mention of its medicinal virtues one can find numerous, ingenious suggestions for how to get a patient to take it and keep it down. Yet the problem with cod liver oil remained its vile, nauseating, oily quality and taste. Soon every mother was admonished to give her children a daily dose of the oil - a practice that began in the 1920s and continued well into the 1950s: hence the reference in the film about Paul Newman's and Joanne Woodward's suburban Connecticut home. Cod liver oil is one of the best natural sources of vitamins A and D. ![]() In the early 20th century the marketing changed dramatically, after the discovery of vitamins and the role they play in promoting healthy growth and preventing diseases such as rickets (caused by a deficiency of vitamin D). When Scott and Bowne began marketing their emulsion in the 1870s it was widely used for "consumption" and all "Wasting Diseases," which would have included tuberculosis, a leading cause of death at the time. Its popularity has waxed and waned with changing medical knowledge and cultural preferences, but it has survived - Scott's Emulsion is available today in nearly its original formula (although you will need to order it from Indonesia). Prolific advertising made Scott's Emulsion one of the most successful patent medicines of the late 19th and early 20th century, and made its manufacturers, Alfred Scott and Samuel Bowne, very wealthy men.Ĭod liver oil has a long history of use as a medicine and health product, a history that is still going on today. The man with a fish on his back was also reproduced on advertising trade cards and booklets, and printed on the packaging and embossed on the bottles of Scott's Emulsion. The figure served as an oversized advertisement for a medicinal cod liver oil product called Scott's Emulsion, and it probably stood prominently in a drugstore window some 100 years ago. The man is made of papier mache and stands over five feet tall the fish he carries on his back, a Norwegian cod, is as big as he is. I have been intrigued by cod liver oil ever since I encountered the "Man With a Fish on His Back" in the back corner of the old period Drugstore exhibit at the National Museum of American History. But what better testament to the notoriously noxious quality of cod liver oil could there be than this - that the allure of the pink peignoir was forever spoiled by the spill, and could not be restored - even after repeated washings? Cultural references to cod liver oil are rare these days, as rare as references to pink peignoirs. In the 1958 film Rally 'Round the Flag, Boys! starring Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, Newman, a Connecticut commuter/husband sadly recollects the lost appeal of his wife's (Woodward's) pink peignoir after she spilled her son's daily dose of cod liver oil on it. ![]()
