From an ad for suppositories meant to cure "intestinal torpor and kindred evils," such as constipation and piles, written sometime in the 1860s:
"As Sancho Panza said of sleep, so say I of your Gluten Suppositories: God bless the man who invented them!"
I think a whole paper could be written on the reception of Don Quixote by 19th-century popular culture.
