Cure All Forms Of Disease!

Hard to imagine people fell for stuff like this.  But there again… it wasn’t two years ago that Acai — the “heals anything, causes weight loss” elixir — was being gobbled up faster than crack on the corner of a shady Bronx alleyway.

I imagine this ad is from the early 1900’s, but I love the text here:  “Professor Wilson practiced medicine twenty-five years, but now he seeks to make amends for having given his time to so pernicious a system as ‘drugging poor suffering humanity.’”

Well, some things never change I guess, and the medical system is surely one of those things, right?

You bet.

Check out the sales copy on this ad, it’s very good.
