Land o'Goshen! That seems to be a real photo!

Or at least Bridgeman are cheerfully selling it as a 1940s advert litho:

1940s seems rather too late: decades after boring regulations started insisting that active ingredients be present and even coincide somewhat with the label. So perhaps the full page would reveal it as a callback to the dark past, e.g. "No more 'Snake Oil' cures for mothers' little woes, thanks to Science and all-new cherry-zest Thalidomide!"?
