Clark Stanley was born in Abilene, Texas in 1854. After a decade as a cowboy, he claimed he spent two years studying alongside a Hopi medicine man in Arizona. During his “apprenticeship”, Stanley claimed he was introduced to the medicinal properties of snake oil. Stanley began peddling his own version of Snake Oil Liniment at medicine shows across America. A consummate showman, Stanley would stand before a crowd, kill a few snakes, and mix his potion … as mesmerized onlookers opened their wallets, paying 50 cents per bottle – (about $20 in 2022). He claimed his cure-all treated virtually anything – from headaches to arthritis to sciatica! The “Rattlesnake King” eventually established production facilities in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Short story shorter, in 1917 federal investigators seized a shipment of Stanley’s concoction and found it to contain mineral oil, a fatty oil, red pepper and turpentine – and not even one single drop of snake oil! Stanley was fined $20 for “misbranding” his product as a pain remedy and ‘slithered’ away into oblivion. What does this have to do with Match and Fable’s latest role? Well, nothing really.
