I was cleaning some of the old files in my computer and found this little picture I used for one of my reports in an anthropology class back in college. It’s a report on whether our perception of good and bad and what’s safe and not are all constructs.
In any case, what I have here is a picture of a package for cocaine toothache drops (circa 1885). Yup. They’re made available as health stuff before the prohibition.

3Regardless of benj remark, cocaine is a very good analgesic and although benj attempts to mock it will find its been used as such for years unlike his comparison of ‘radioactive toothpaste’
