Newspaper Articles
Someone on Twitter brought attention to this from another source. This one that I found in The New York Times has more details.

You trying to tell me you didn't hear that shriek? That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does. - Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Wow, isn't that a strange one. I wonder why they didn't drag Mumcra out of that bed...?
Re: Newspaper Articles
I don't know! It is pretty strange. How can one stay happy and "in perfect health" without moving a muscle? I'm thinking this guy had a secret night life.

Yeah, something's not on the level there. But if I were the Jersey County Farm, I wouldn't take this lying down.

Re: Newspaper Articles
I found a website called oldmagazinearticles.com!
This one is satirical from Vanity Fair, 1914. It is by James Montgomery Flagg, best known for creating the "I want YOU!" Uncle Sam poster.
This article is making fun of the ridiculous advertisements that were printed in that time. Now, I will warn that the first example can be considered racist.
My favorite is the coffee one.

Re: Newspaper Articles
I like the way he lampoons the exaggeration in those Victorian product ads. Once they got started extolling the virtues of some nostrum or other, they kept going...and going...and going. Why not just say it cures everything?
I like the coffee one best, too. And that's still somewhat applicable today, because they are still trying to saddle coffee consumption with all kinds of dire results—but never have succeeded.

Re: Newspaper Articles
They didn't have to explain that it was an awful experience—I would kinda figure that...
Re: Newspaper Articles
True! Those headlines are usually pretty redundant, though.
