I think this is the first vintage medicine ad from this era I've seen where the person is actually taking a pill.

But what were these? Some opioid? Cocaine? Sugar?

Seems to be the same as "Ayer's Cathartic pills". Some googling gave me this (http://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_715815):


jalap (drug active ingredients)

ginger (drug active ingredients)

aloes (drug active ingredients)

gamboge (drug active ingredients)

colocynth pulp (drug active ingredients)

podophyllin (drug active ingredients)

oil peppermint (drug active ingredients)

oil spearmint (drug active ingredients)

Several of the things I have no idea what are.
