The Miraculous pills of 1881

[Springsandthings]

Thought some people might enjoy looking at this newspaper advert I came across from 1881, seems they had a pill for everything!

Ah Lily the Pink, the saviour of the human ray-hay-hayce, for she invented medicinal compound, most efficacious in every case.

EARMWORM TIME, PEOPLE.

Antibillious pills, the only ones that contain mercury, yay!

'Methuseleh' pills for me, I think

Jennifer Eccles, had terrible freckles ...🎼

Methuselah pills for the irritations and infirmities in advanced life. Well, line 'em up, please!

Trombones! We used to sing that song all the time as kids & I haven't thought about it in years. Thank you

This is interesting. But bear in mind Heroin is a trademark for a cough suppressant drug.

The same heroin that is injected by users.

I've never got over them banning Gees Linctus 😭
