The age of drugs. Illustration shows the interior of a drugstore with an elderly man, the pharmacist, dispensing a Bracer to a crowd of eager consumers, while a young girl secures a bottle of Soothing Syrup. On the counter are bottles and packets of Arsenic, Strychnine, Antipyrin, Nerve Stimulant, Opium, Cocaine and The Needle. Signs on the wall state The Killem' Quick Pharmacy, Open all night, and Prescriptions carefully compounded. The saloon keeper leans against a column and laments that he cannot begin to compete with the drug trade. Date 1900 October 10.
