ONE LAST THING

Cures For What Ails You
Crazy beauty and health products ads from the late 1800s to the 1950s. Oh, how things have changed.

SO COMMON

Can’t stop coughing? Do you
have a case of that nasty
whooping cough? Bayer gives
you the cheapest cure of heroin
hydrochloride that dissolves and
absorbs into the bloodstream
more quickly. It’s $4.85 per oz,
but if you buy in larger quantities,
you can get an extra discount. No
need to worry about overdosing.

INHALE, EXHALE

Having
trouble
breathing?
Allegeries? Do you suffer from
asthma? Don’t worry - just
light up one of these babies and
you’re cured. For kids and adults
7 years of age and above.

BE RELIEVED

Those nasty toothaches are the worst. Luckily
Lloyd Manufacturing Co. has produced a cure
and it works fast. These Cocaine Toothache
Drops are not only great for your teeth,
but they also help numb the pain. All those
benefits for only 15 cents... What a deal.

FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH

What better way to keep looking attractive?
Not only does Campbell’s Wafers firm your
skin for a youthful look, but it also removes
acne and other facial blemishes - like magic.
That’s because they are made with arsenic
that cleanses your blood; the real cause of skin
problems.

SWEET REWARDS

Back in the 1950s, Domino’s Pure
Cane Sugar was great to help you
stay slim and trim. How you ask?
Well, it has less calories than an
egg. Sure an egg adds some value
to your diet, but this sugar gives
you energy and fast. Don’t starve
yourself of sugar. You won’t make
it through your day.
