I've got to credit the science blog, Of Two Minds, for making me aware of an endlessly entertaining and informative web site on vintage drug ads.

You can learn about Pabst extract, a tonic of "malt and hops" that is oh so useful to bring "poise and balance" to women just before baby comes. Or Bayer heroin, the best remedy for coughs. Or how about that all-purpose thorazine, useful for (and I'm not listing them all) asthma, bursitis, menopause, senility, peptic ulcers psoriasis and hyperkinetic children.

Yes, indeed. Calms them all right down. Check it out.
