The age of drugs

The age of drugs

In the interior of “The Killem’ Quick Pharmacy,” an elderly man, the pharmacist, dispenses a “Bracer” to a crowd of eager consumers, while a young girl secures a bottle of “Soothing Syrup.” On the counter are bottles and packets of “Arsenic, Strychnine, Antipyrin, Nerve Stimulant, Opium, Cocaine” and “The Needle.” Signs on the wall state “Open all night” and “Prescriptions carefully compounded.” The saloon keeper leans against a column. Caption: Saloon Keeper. — The kind of drunkard I make is going out of fashion. I can’t begin to compete with this fellow.

Rexall: The modern method of the treatment of disease

Rexall Drug Company warns of the threat of patent medicines and their variability in effectiveness or harm, and advertises their medicines and pills, which it claims are scientifically measured to be effective against certain illnesses and symptoms. The first page includes an image of a female figure dressed as a knight riding a horse, holding out a sword. The last page is an ad for Rexall hair tonic, featuring an image of a woman’s face on the top of the page, with long dark hair flowing down, bordering the ad’s text. There are smaller female figures applying the tonic to the hair, and an image of the Rexall bottle in the bottom left corner.
