Found a fair number of these pharmaceutical advertising postcards from the late 1950s and early 1960s. The cards are nice, the foreign postage is good too. Thought I'd share a few. Enjoy!

Not quite at the same level of sophistication , this ad for Jivan Mixture from Soruth State in India. Apparently it cures just about every ailment known to man or woman:



The stamp is the dirt-common 3 Pies of 1929, SG 49.
