Quack Medicine
Quack medicine — the bogus cure — often touches growing morbid under some trouble, to be overcome by industrious application to duty. The dream may ask where you're sinking into gloom over a difficulty, and whether reaching for a false, easy fix is feeding the morbidity when steady, purposeful work is what would actually lift it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for quack medicine, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream you take quack medicine, shows that you are growing morbid under some trouble, and should overcome it by industrious application to duty. To read the advertisement of it, foretells unhappy companions will wrong and distress you.
