595. Our old friend Derby Gisclair returns to
talk about his research into Louisiana politician and snake oil salesman
(to the degree they're different!) Dudley J. LeBlanc. "Coozan Dud" was a
moderately successful Louisiana politician and a wildly successful
salesman of Hadacol, the patent medicine. He hosted a traveling variety
show to sell the elixir he created in his bathtub with vitamins, other
ingredients, hydrochloric acid, and 12% alcohol. Join us to learn more
about this drink that's good for what ails you.
