It’s fun seeing the advertisements on TV telling how this new pill will alleviate the pains and symptoms of everything from arthritis to cancer. But it’s nothing new. People have been the targets of “cures” for ages.

These are some of the “Cure-All” ads taken from The Eagle Quill newspaper in the early 20th century.

Enjoy more advertisements along with local and national news of the day by reading our historic Eagle Quill newspapers from the first half of the 20th century here on our website.
