This topic wouldn't be complete without a mention of good ol' Bayer's older product line. See http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild:BayerHeroin.png . Aspirin for your headache, Heroin for your cough.

thalidomide ad

"this childs life may depend upon distival". Hard to believe this is real.

http://www.thalidomideuk.com/photo%20archives/Distavel%20-%2060s%20Advert.JPG

Poor scan quality, unfortunately. I've seen other ads for thalidomide, but can't find them online. Would love to seem more if anyone knows.

Re: thalidomide ad

[broan33.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow!

Re: wow

So when are they coming back?

[(Anonymous)]

It looks like the ads have all but vanished because of exceeding bandwidth problems. When will the ads return?

Re: So when are they coming back?

[elsh.livejournal.com]

As stated at the beginning of the entry, you can see them on my flikr account. The link is there..
