My mom was given several old knitting magazines from the 1930's and some of the ads in these things are hilarious. Like this one, from 1938:
Gin--cures what ails ya!
Speaking of that, I had a gin and cranberry juice cocktail last night, with New Amsterdam Gin. Very tasty.

If your mom has any interest in a WWI, or WWII knitting magazines, I'd be happy to drop a copies in the mail.
Is it still called "medicinal?"
I'll ask her and see (assuming I remember).
