Description
Black and white 4 3/4″ x 12 1/2″ ad for this product designed to relieve the pain from Sore Throats. There is a picture of a young woman experiencing severe pain from her sore throat, clutching the front of her neck in an attempt to find relief. The ad offers the advice that, for an ordinary sore throat, you only need to gargle with this product but if you have a deep sore throat, advice is given on how to spray it into your throat. With bold letters the warning is given that “Sore throat may be a forerunner of diphtheria and other diseases”. It is claimed to be both a germicide and able to dull the pain of sore throat. You are even urged to pour it on every cut, burn or scrape that your children may incur. Prices are given of 50 cents or $1.00 for bottles from your druggist.
