ASTHMATIC? THIS FUNDAMENTALIST PREACHER ASKED 'GOD' FOR A 'CURE' FOR SUCH BREATHING ISSUES......

                           

        'DR.' BLOSSER, THE  POPULAR ATLANTA EVANGELIST MINISTER HAS 'THE ANSWER' TO YOUR CATARRH, ASTHMA AND  BRONCHITIS PROBLEMS.....HIS NEWLY-FORMULATED "MEDICAL" CIGARETTES WILL HAVE YOU BREATHING LIKE A TUBA-PLAYER.......WITH THE ADDITIONAL INSURANCE OF THE BLOSSER FAMILY'S 'MONEY-BACK-GUARANTEE'!  



AND....TO THINK..... I ONCE HAD A HOUSE ON MYRTLE STREET, HERE IN ATLANTA, JUST A FEW DOORS DOWN FROM THIS QUACKSTER'S HOME 

Apart from the (dubious?) medical properties of the cigarettes, Dr. Blosser endured significant troubles when he was accused of participating in a "testimonial brokers" racket - wherein various quack medicine vendors sold each other testimonial letters and mailing lists - detailed in Samuel Hopkin Adams's Great American Fraud: Articles on the Nostrum Evil and Quackery (1912). Blosser protested his innocence but Adams was able to produce a goodly number of letters.
