An episode of House...

From GraphJam. Hilarious. All they forgot was the seizures. Why is it that there is at least ONE seizure per episode of House. SA Doc tells me it's a lot more exciting than real life. Even the Baragwanath pit.

Old Time Medicine #8 - You KNOW it works! (46% Alcohol, 100% Opium)

Opium for new-borns

I'm sure this would make them sleep well (not only the Opium, but 46% alcohol!)

Old Time Medicine #7 - You KNOW it works! (Double BILL on the Cocaine!)

A double bill for you today. Amazing that these "medicines" existed. Oh but for the old days eh?


Cocaine tablets (1900)

All stage actors, singers teachers and preachers had to have them for a maximum performance. Great to "smooth" the voice.



Cocaine drops for toothache

Very popular for children in 1885. Not only they relieved the pain, they made the children happy!

Old Time Medicine #6 - You KNOW it works! (Asthma Opium? REALLY?)

Opium? Really?

Awesome.

Old Time Medicine #5 - You KNOW it works! (Paperweight promotion)

A paper weight

A paper weight promoting C.F. Boehringer & Soehne ( Mannheim , Germany ). They were proud of being the biggest producers in the world of products containing Quinine and Cocaine.
