Metcalf Coca Wine was one of a huge
variety of wines with cocaine on the
market.  Everybody used to say that it
would make you happy and it would
also work as a medicinal treatment.
 

A bottle of Bayer's heroin.  Between 1890 and 1910
heroin was sold as a non-addictive substitute for
morphine.  I was also used to treat children with
strong cough. 
 

Produced by Maltine Manufacturing
Company of New York .   It was
suggested that you should take a
full glass with or after every meal.
Children should take half a glass.
 

Mariani wine (1875) was the most famous Coca wine
of its time.  Pope Leo XIII used to carry one bottle
with him all the time.  He awarded Angelo Mariani
(the producer) with a Vatican gold medal.

A paper weight promoting C.F... Boehringer
& Soehne ( Mannheim , Germany ).   They
were proud of being the biggest producers
in the world of products containing Quinine
and Cocaine. 
 
 

MVery popular for children in 1885.
Not only they relieved the pain,
they made the children happy!
 

All stage actors, singers teachers and preachers had
to have them for a maximum performance.  Great to
"smooth" the voice. 
 

I'm sure this would make them
sleep well (not only the Opium,
but 46% alcohol!!!!!)
