Dr William's Pink Pills

I am going to ask my GP for a prescription to these.  I found this article in a 1902 edition of the Sydney Morning Herald. They just don't make narcotics like they used to.


According to Wikipedia it was claimed cure chorea, referenced frequently in newspaper headlines as "St. Vitus' Dance," as well as "locomotor ataxia, partial paralyxia, seistica, neuralgia rheumatism, nervous headache, the after-effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, [and] all forms of weakness in male or female."
