$16.40 in today’s money! That’s pretty good.
It looked fucking great too! https://youtu.be/n8Skw-WcrVI
Something like that (as a new item) would probably go for $80-120 nowadays

The other option was to sail to Panama, travel across land, then get another ship up the west coast to California. Before the railroad was complete, traveling by land was the slowest but cheapest option. What I find fascinating is that the gold rush influenced ship design worldwide and it's how we ended up with clipper ships like the one in the ad. They were built specifically for speed to get to California as soon as possible.

So, turns out that someone still makes canned pudding. Not quite school lunchbox size, though.
You can buy all the drug paraphernalia you could possibly need on amazon.com, for example https://www.amazon.com/Bullet-Aluminium-Dispenser-Snorter-Rocket/dp/B07HGZ1MS1/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=bullet+powder&qid=1562330964&s=gateway&sr=8-4
It is not in print anymore but you can still get the book.
There were other ads where the model wasn't topless but she was in others. (NSFW)
The author, Eric Weber, also wrote "How to pick up girls!" and the ads for that book appeared in Playboy, National Lampoon, GQ and Esquire.
Still available:
Amazon
WalMart
and probably in your local store.
here you go, sorry I didn’t post it with the comment.
Surprisingly, this one appears to be real. It's in the Museum Of Quackery Collection, which is real objects. They were donated to the Science Museum of Minnesota some years back; unfortunately the SMM's online collections search seems to be offline so I can't get the actual accession info right now. But it's on the old MoQ site, and mentioned in Quack!: Tales of Medical Fraud from the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices, so I'm pretty sure the poster is genuine.
