An ad circa 1885 advertising cocaine as an "instantaneous cure!" for the common toothache.

Crushed cocaine consisting of powder and chunks. Around 1 gram of coke.

"Tired? Then drink Coca Cola. It relieves exhaustion."

Coca-Cola did once contain an estimated nine milligrams of cocaine per glass, but in 1903 it was removed. To this day, Coca-Cola still contains coca flavoring.

After 1904, rather than use fresh Coca leaves, Coca-Cola started using "spent" leaves-the leftovers of the cocaine-extraction process with cocaine trace levels left over at a molecular level.
