Description
Three color 5 1/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the Pink medicine that is designed to relieve an Upset Stomach. There is a picture of a smiling little girl wearing a cardboard crown being handed a large piece of birthday cake with a candle placed in the middle. The headline reminds us that “Sugar ‘n Spice ‘n everything Nice…that’s what UPSET Stomachs are made of”. There is a later picture of this same little girl with a distressed look on her face and her hands clasped to her stomach after having that piece of cake, and probably more. The text wans you to “Never Upset an Upset Stomach!” and claims that Pepto-Bismol will coat your upset stomach and not irritate it with harsh medicines.
