Triavil advertisement (circa 1969): "Lady, your anxiety is showing (over a coexisting depression)"

This has to be the most pharmaceutical advertisement of all time (and it has some strong competition).

"Lady, your anxiety is showing (over a coexisting depression)" folder cover for "The Nervous System anatomical illustrations" published by Merck, Sharp and Dohme, West Point, PA. Circa. 1969. Advertises Triavil "a broad-spectrum psychotheraputic agent for the management of outpatients and hospitalized patients with psychoses or neurosis characterized by mixtures of anxiety or agitation with symptoms of depression..."
