Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their Effervescent Analgesic Alkalizing Tablets. There is a picture that shows Speedy standing (floating) on top of a box of this popular product waving his magic wand at a glass in front of him marked Alka-Seltzer. There is a series of drawings that show a creature made from beads or something similar bent over in discomfort and changing into a fit and ready-for-action person. The headline which points toward the early stages of this creature says “Relieve Pain of Headache, Neuritis, Neuralgia. take the Quick-Acting Liquid Pain Reliever. Take Alka-Seltzer“. The ad text talks about the process of taking this product, I beg to difer when they call it “pleasant”, and promises that “Relief is just a swallow away”. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
