proverbally yours// Poster research

I have actually found it very difficult to find any posters or designs related to medicine especially post 1940's , I suppose there is not really much need for advertisements anymore in the medical profession, where as before 1940 this is show most pharmacies worked, individual chemists were creating their own miracle cures for illnesses, which may or may not have worked, but because it was a private occupation then they needed the advertisements to sell their product, whereas now seeming we have the NHS and certified chemists and laws about what drugs you can sells to people there is not as much need for advertisements of medicines or the medical profession at all.
Obviously there is still advertisements for head ache tablets, and indigestion relief tablets but I am talking about the medical profession as a whole and there lack of need in promoting themselves.

These are a few interesting images and posters I found.



And then these are some advertisement posters for modern day medicines or un prescribed drugs or aliments


Non of these are really very exciting, but they are all advertisements rather than promotional or informational posters, but it is interesting to see.
