The Medical Libraries Discussion List (medlib-l@list.uvm.edu) posted a unique database on advertising and medicine. It contains copies of advertisements of medications dating back to 1910 and through to the 1950s. The website is called "Medicine and Madison Avenue" by The National Humanities Center and the John W. Hartman Center for Sales, Advertising and Marketing History. The database presents images of advertisements from newspapers and magazines covering a wide variety of medical complaints.
