A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Welcome to my whining!
This blog is entirely for entertainment purposes. All posts about patients, or my everyday life, or anything else may be fictional, or be my experience, or were submitted by a reader, or any combination of the above. Factual statements may or may not be accurate. I could be making all this up. I may not even be a doctor. The only true statement on here is that I probably drink more Diet Coke than you do. A lot more.

I think it is a 21st-century spoof. The typeface looks like something recently designed. The term "alcoholics" wasn't widely used until well after the 19th-century patent medicine era.
Oh my!!!
times used to be so much simpler.....and more fun!
Yep, I think that would be enough to make me never want to drink again.
Granted, I'd probably also be dead. But, you know. Still works!
Sure, trade one addiction for another. Genius for the product people, but not so much for the alcoholic.
Would YOU pass that if you were me?
But, is it artisan?
Amusing. I'm with anonymous at 10:55, though. Copious is misspelled, the use of the word "new" is questionable, and there's an agreement problem with drunkard/they/their instead of drunkard/he/his, among other things (can you gain a new want?). Could be the work of a 21st century artisan, all right.

Happy Father's Day, Grumpy! (from a regular reader and infrequent commenter)
As I recall (but am too lazy to check) the guy who invented Coca-Cola was trying to use cocaine to cure his morphine addiction.
@ronstew:
Freud was actually the one that suggested cocaine would cure a morphine addiction, not the guy that invented Coca-Cola (Pemberton)
The white-on-black printing, exactly matching the typeface of the black-on-white printing, gives it away. That can't be done with letterpress technology. It's digital, or at least photographic. In 19th-century posters, if there is writing on things like the black bottle, it's hand-engraved.
Pemberton did claim that it was a cure for morphine addiction, (among other things) not necessarily *his* addiction.
