Misbehaving children, anxious housewives, and a man’s happy Quaalude-created morning with his family highlight a random collection of psychotropic drug advertisements from the past posted on Imgur. Dr. Bonkers’ Nearly Genuine and Truly Marvelous Psycho-neuro-pharmacological Mental Medicine Show, however, has many more both modern and vintage ads for prescription psychotropics organized under themes like, “Early Remedies,” “Women’s Issues,” “Extra-pyramidal scheme: selling drugs to treat diseases caused by drugs,” and “Noncompliant drug evaders.”
