- Q301502 abstract "Snake oil is an expression that originally referred to fraudulent health products or unproven medicine but has come to refer to any product with questionable or unverifiable quality or benefit. By extension, a snake oil salesman is someone who knowingly sells fraudulent goods or who is themselves a fraud, quack, or charlatan.The use of snake oil long predates the 19th century, and it was never confined to the Americas. In Europe, viper oil had been commonly recommended for many afflictions, including the ones for which rattlesnake oil was subsequently favored (e.g., rheumatism and skin diseases).William S. Haubrich, in his book Medical Meanings (1997, American College of Physicians), mentions the hypothesis that the term came from the eastern United States. The Seneca people, indigenous to the New York and Pennsylvania region, would rub cuts and scrapes with the petroleum collected from oil seeps. European settlers observed this habit, and in mid-nineteenth century they began bottling and selling the substance as a cure-all. They named the product for the local tribe as "Seneca oil". Supposedly through mispronunciation, this became "Sen-ake-a oil" and eventually "snake oil". Haubrich remarked, "This story is almost too good to be true – which means it probably isn't." It appears to be a case of folk etymology, since no known historical evidence supports this explanation.".
