Description
Full color 5 1/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad that is described as being perfect for relieving someone who is suffering from the Collywobbles. There is a drawing of a young boy sitting against a wall with an obvious look of distress on his face as several apple cores litter the ground around him. The text informs us that “Collywobbles” is the term for “the stomach that follows too much of a good thing”. The advice is given to “Never upset an upset stomach” and we are told that Pepto-Bismol is better than “antacids or harsh, drastic physics”. They describe the soothing, protective coating that is given when a person takes Pepto-Bismol which is recommended for children as well as adults.
