We just love these Bethany Lowe
Halloween Boards!
So....
what's the story behind these
creepy characters?
They are figures taken from
calendars taken from
The Antikamnia Chemical Company
The skeletons were created from 1897-1901
who was a physician as well as an artist.
The Antikamnia company used these calenders
to promote their drug "Acetanilide"
it was sold claiming to treat
pain, nervousness & blues
Acetanilide
worked wonderfully....
but you'd go blue after taking it,
for it prevented red blood cells
from releasing oxygen to your tissues!
shhhhhh!
Maybe that's what this skeleton is trying to say!
Well...thankfully
Acentanilide isn't around today...
but these great drawings still are!

Hi Girls!!
I was just going to say these guys look like they took too much of the stuff! They'd be better off using the Toad Bladders you have for sale!!
Looks like you're having LOTS of fun with this creepy time of year, I can only imagine what your place looks like. SPOOKYyyyyyy
Big hugs, Edie Marie
PS don't forget the garlic around your neck!
They're not creepy! They're hilarious! :-)
