Freaky Friday Vintage

Not everything vintage was beautiful or romantic and certainly some of the vintage advertising was sexist, racist, creepy and sometimes just downright horrible!  Often the advertising was simply ignorant and without the benefit of years of study.  Today's Freaky Friday Vintage image is an advertisement for - believe it or not - Dr. Batty's Asthma Cigarettes.  It expounds on the wonderful health effects of smoking this product.  Thank God it wasn't recommended for children under the age of 6!

I don't know why anywone would want this as a poster, but if you do, I'd be happy to oblige.
