Got the Jake Leg, Too

Jamaica ginger extract, also known as "Jake," was a popular patent medicine in the United States during the Prohibition era (1920-1933). It contained a high concentration of ethanol, making it a convenient source of alcohol when traditional liquor was prohibited. Many users of Jamaica ginger began experiencing debilitating symptoms, rendering them unable to control their hands and feet. Among the afflicted, some retained the ability to walk, but their muscles lost the capacity to point their toes upward. As a result, they adopted a distinct gait: lifting their feet high with the toes drooping downward, leading to a peculiar "tap-click, tap-click" sound as they moved. This peculiar walking pattern was dubbed the "jake leg." The song "Got the Jake Leg Too" was recorded in 1929 by the Ray Brothers from Jackson, Mississippi. It serves as a cautionary tale about the devastating effects of consuming bootlegged alcohol substitutes. I think it shows that people will go to great lengths to get fucked up, which it most certainly did.
