Hi. I'm Albert7777 (Talk) , I'm a normal editor on Wikipedia and I mainly do behind the scenes stuff like NPPing and removing vandalism. I believe that Wikipedia and its sister projects are a very important source of knowledge in the world. Although I'm not such a large contributor to Wikimedia Projects, I commit lots of my free time (which is very little) to Wikipedia. If you find this encyclopedia or its sister projects useful, please consider making a donation.



Bile Beans
Bile Beans were a widely advertised patent medicine first marketed in Australia in 1897 before production moved to Leeds, England. Promoted as a remedy for ailments ranging from indigestion to headaches, they were claimed to derive from a secret vegetable known only to Aboriginal Australians and researched by the scientist Charles Forde. In reality, "Charles Forde" was the pseudonym of the entrepreneur Charles Fulford, and the supposed discovery was entirely fictitious. In 1906, Scottish judges ruled that the company's business was founded on fraud, yet Bile Beans remained commercially successful and continued to be sold until the 1980s. This paper bag advertising Bile Beans probably dates from around the 1930s, and is part of the collection of ephemera at Wellcome Collection in London.Design credit: unknown artist
