Delightful collection of old pharmaceutical ads:

Patty, when my daughter was little and suffered from chronic ear infections, her doctor actually gave me a script for tylonal with codine so she could get sleep. She also recommended a shot of "medicine" for me as well. It sometimes helps to have a doctor that is a mom too...
