7 Vintage Health Ads to Make You Laugh (plus Friday Frivolity)

Have you ever thought about health claims from 30, 40 or even 100 years ago and asked yourself WHAT WERE THEY THINKING? Our Friday Frivolity Host theme is "crazy health advice" this week, so I decided to gather some of the wildest vintage health ads that will leave you shaking your head at the audacity of the claims.

Vintage print health ads with audacious medical claims: Dr. Pepper, 7-UP, Le-Mar Reducing Soap, Blatz Beer, Lucky Strike and more. — Full of nourishing malt and appetizing hops.
