Default use of chemical stimulants in the deadball era
Posted By: craig

thats really a neat item. it made me think of this ty cobb ad that is in a newspaper i own, another of my collections. the sunday, sept. 10, 1916 san francisco examiner has an ad on page N7 of ty cobb selling nuxated iron. he is shown sliding in the picture. the ad is actually very lon with him describing how it keeps him this the physical condition it takes to be "the worlds greatest baseball player." i will try to scan the ad tonight, hopefull i can, and post it tomorrow afternoon.
