THE REVIEW BY BEA BOND The other evening while , listening to the Irish Rovers sing “about “Lydia Pinkham’s Pink Pills for Pale People,’ I was reminded of some early ad- vertisements for remedies and cures I had read in a 1902 publication. Possibly they may bring back memories to some of your readers and a few chuckles to others. A Sure Cure for the Tobacco Habit states: ‘Nicotine is a virulent poison and the. chief ingredient of tobacco. It is the cause of all nervous troubles and general debility of smokers. Our Sure Cure will destroy the effects of this nicotine, chase it from the system and make weak men strong again, and impotent. men gain weight and vigour, make the old feel young again. —— It is not a drug; it can be chewed the same.as tobacco, or taken dissolved in coffee or hot tea. And ladies, if your problem is overweight, possibly you would be interested in Dr. Rose’s Obesity Powders. ‘‘People who have obesity are troubled with sluggish circulation and labored action of the heart. The pafient feels lazy and burdensome. There is a sluggish condition of the whole system; they are not exactly sickly but there is a feeling that all is not right.” (My exact symptoms!!) “Dr. Rose’s. Obesity Cure will reduce cor- pulency in a ‘safe and agreeable manner, perfectly harmiess.”’ Do you want a splitting headache cured immediately? Mexico Headache Cure positively guarantees relief. within fifteen minutes after the first dose has been taken. ‘No. matter from what. cause, whether.a. nervous headache, or from the stomach, or a severe case of neuralgia, we : g@uarantee complete relief.
