You're bidding on a CD-R containing over 400!! individual quack medical advertisements with the vast majority spanning the years from the 1880's - 1901! This unique collection features cures for blindness, deafness, cancer, opium and other drug addictions, and for just about any ailment suffered by the human race! The advertisers of yesteryear were able to make thest wild and outrageous and outlandish curative claims for their products and hospital and sanitarium treatments and services, since they were unfettered by any laws until the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1905. I carefully removed the original ads from my extensive collection of antique magazines and scanned them at very high resolution. The vast majority of the ads' filenames includes the source magazine's name and date of publication. All captions and text are perfectly legible, and the CD-R contains over 230 MB! of .jpg files for your viewing pleasure! You can, of course, copy the files from the CD to your hard drive where you can then print them, arrange them in folders, etc. I find that many of the ads also make unique screen savers and 'wallpaper' for the monitor. You can see a sample of 15 of the ads in full size at http://bergailo.smugmug.com/gallery/4062055. NOTE****This is a 'home made' and not a 'professionally produced' CD with fancy cover graphics, etc., but, as stated, the scans are high quality and the content matter is unique!!**** AS A fantastic BONUS, I'll also include a genuine shiny Eisenhower 'Ike' bi-centennial U.S.A. (legal tender) collectible dollar coin from 1976! It would cost you at least $4.00 with shipping to get one of these on eBay. FREE USPS 1st CLASS MAIL SHIPPING TO U.S.A.!! Payment should be received by me within 7 days of end of auction. No returns on this item due to its reproducible nature, but please check my perfect feedback, my longevity with eBay, and bid with confidence! Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool.
