Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Bromo-Seltzer For Simple Headache and Upset Stomach. This ad starts off with two nurses standing there talking and the one holding a bottle of Bromo-Seltzer seems to be explaining to the other one about how well it works. The headline says that “For Upset Stomach due to nervous and acid indigestion Bromo-Seltzer works Best!”. At the bottom of the ad there are three pictures with explanations. The first one says “Clinical Test Shows Bromo-Seltzer Works Fast! In recent clinical research, nurses confirmed that Bromo-Seltzer gave fast, thorough relief from upset stomach due to nervous and acid indigestion. Actually, Bromo-Seltzer gave relief up to twice as fast as other leading remedies tested”. The second photo says that it “Contains One Of The Finest Ingredients Known To Doctors! Bromo-Seltzer contains sodium citrate – one of the most dependable ingredients known to doctors for the relief of stomach acidity. This ingredient is found in most hospital dispensaries across the country”. And the third photo “Plus A Gentle, Nerve-Soothing Ingredient!.
