An article in the Nov. 28, 1916, Interior Journal titled “Here’s the Hog” shows this image of a hog that had been cured of cholera!

The hog, which belonged to Mr. Skiles Ewing of Bowling Green, was given a concoction called the Bourbon Hog Cholera Remedy, which cured him of his maladies.

He was almost dead before his bourbon treatment, but after the treatment’s course, he was cured: he only lost his ears and tail! Ewing said he’d give a testimonial and that other testimonials were available upon request.
