First butcher shops, now this. No, really, why were we not born in another era? They have the coolest toys. In 1959, America had the disaffected Marybel (also expressly termed The Doll That Gets Well), a doll that came with her very own medical supplies: crutches, bandages, casts, gauzes and adhesive tape. Plus sunnies to rock the doll-in-recovery look. We imagine the little trooper would have been quite a hit with sick kids waiting to get well.

There was another “sick” doll here in America from 1961 called HEDDA GET BEDDA. And she was extremely creepy. She had a three-sided face that you could turn with a knob on her bonnet. On face was happy, the next sick w/ measles and the third she was sleeping. Not sure if this link will work but here goes: http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRdJUzuNSqE0li0VfweOfiFS3zA8djdakAE2XPG4S-YZhB-99hDs67sFv3mig
