Black and white 9 3/4" x 13 1/2" ad that is for Bayer Aspirin. This ad has a picture of a mother holding and kissing her young baby as they are standing at the beach as the ad text says that it is as "Gentle as a Mothers Kiss...". The ad text then says that "Bayer Aspirin's single active ingredient is so gentle medical authorities say it is probably The Safest Of All Pain-Relieving Drugs!". "Bayer Aspirin is not a mixture of drugs. It is straight aspirin...so fast and so effective all by itself that if needs no added drugs to bring you relief from ordinary aches and pains. You need gentle relief when you're in pain - and you want fast relief. Bayer Aspirin gives you both. It is so gentle doctors prescribe it even for samll children...so gentle its record of safety - a record of safe use by millions of normal people - is unmatched by any other pain-reliever. And it is so fast that when you drop a Bayer Aspirin tablet in a glass of water, it starts disintegrating almost instantly. One reason why Bayer Aspirin with confidence, not only because it provides gentle relief and fast relief, but also because highest medical authorities say its single active ingredient is probably the safest and most efficient of all pain-relieving drugs. So take Bayer Aspirin whenever you have an ordinary headache - or the pains of neuritis or neuralgia. And remember - if Bayer Aspirin does not relieve your pain - it's time to see your doctor". |

Black and white 4 3/4" x 10 3/4" ad for their Fassst Pain Reliever. The ad has a picture of a man on a racing motorcycle and the caption says that "The fastest Dirt Track Motorcycle travels 1 Kilometer in 19.3 seconds, but in only TWO SECONDS Bayer Aspirin is ready to go to work!". The ad text challenges you to prove this fact by dropping a Bayer Aspirin into a glass of water and you will see for yourself that it starts to dissolve within two seconds. It must have taken very little to convince us of things a long time ago. |

| Bayer |
Black and white 10" x 13" ad that has the standard advice at the top of the page "For the pains and fever of Colds and Flu, Doctors Recommend Aspirin". With that being said, "Bayer Brings Fastest Relief...the fastest, most gentle to the stomach relief you can get from the aches, pains and fever of a cold or flu!". The picture shows a doctor's bag setting on a bedside table and a male hand, presumably the doctor's, holding up the thermometer to be read. The ad says that "This is a simple fact: in private conversations, in magazine articles, in newspapers and medical journals, doctors and public health officials have repeatedly recommended one thing for painful discomforts and fever of colds and flu. That one thing is aspirin. Specifically, aspirin. In fact, when we asked thousands of doctors if they themselves took aspirin, better than nine out of ten said "Yes". They also mention the Children's Aspirin for sale. |

Black and white 9 1/2" x 13" ad for their Aspirin Products". The ad has a picture of a worried little boy lying in bed as his smiling mother feels his forehead with one hand while the other hand holds a bottle of Bayer Aspirin for Children. I am sure that the worried look on the boy's face has nothing to do with the fact that a black cat is sitting on his bed with a commanding look on it's face. The ad headline chides "When anyone in your family has a cold or flu...Doctors Say: 1. Keep him in bed, 2. Have him drink plenty of fluids and 3.Give him aspirin to reduce fever and relieve pain". At the botton of the ad are sample pictures of the regular Aspirin and Aspirin for Children. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |

| Bromo-Seltzer |
Black and white 4 3/4" x 13" ad for the medicine from Emerson's that will solve a little bit of everything. There are pictures of three different people in the ad who, with different ailments, have completely recovered due to Bromo-Seltzer. There is a picture of a father who is now able to hoist his young son to his shoulders and play after taking Bromo-Seltzer to recover from "that big dinner". Next we have a couple overdressed for a game of table-tennis but the lady is now able to play just a few minutes after using Bromo-Seltzer to relieve the headache that was causing her nerves to scream. The last picture shows a happy couple dancing with the lady thanking her husband for thinking of Bromo-Seltzer to banish the headache that was destined to keep her from dancing. The text mentions the "FIVE medicinal ingredients" that stop a headache and its depressing after-effects. It talks about being used for over 40 years and reminds us that it is "Effective after the Fizz Stops as well as while it's Fizzing". |

Black and white 5" x 13 3/4" ad that is for Bromo-Seltzer Pain Reliever. This ad is brought to you by John Ringling North of the Ringling Bros. - Barnum & Bailey Circus who says that "Headaches in the greatest show on earth? - Plenty!". It says that "For headaches - Bromo-Seltzer! When his tense life, fatigue, travel, irregular meals bring on headaches, North takes Bromo-Seltzer. 'It not only relieves my headaches promptly' he says, 'it relaxes nervous tension...settles upset stomache, too'". It then has him saying that "I take Bromo-Seltzer. It does MORE for headache than any other remedy I've tried". The ad then claims "Why Bromo-Seltzer does more for you than a simple pain reliever can...helps head, stomach, nerves. Headaches are symptoms of an upset in your system. If they are frequent - or long drawn out - you should see your doctor. However, most headaches are simple ones. They may be NERVOUS or DIGESTIVE. For those, Bromo-Seltzer does more than simple pain relievers. 1. Relieves Pain - eases the "ache" pleasantly, fast. 2. Steadies Nerves - leaves you feeling more alert. 3. Settles Upset Stomach - helps set you right. Why not try this famous remedy - relied on by millions for over 50 years. Follow directions on the label. Buy Bromo-Seltzer at any drugstore, soda fountain. Keep it handy at home, too". |

The ad headline claims you can "Get faster pain relief with Bufferin. Acts twice as fast as aspirin! Doesn't disagree with you!"

| Bufferin |
Black and white 9 3/4" x 13 1/2" ad that has a celebrity-induced advertisement. In this ad "Arthur Godfrey says, "Take it from me, Bufferin works just as they say, twice as fast as aspirin!". There is a picture on the right of a bottle of Bufferin only partially out of the box, opened with two tablets sitting outside of the bottle and the words "Next time you have a headache, a pain or a cold, do what I do. Take two Bufferin tablets and get relief fast...and I mean twice as fast as aspirin". The left side of the ad gives the proof of what they have been saying. There is a cutout of the human body and there are three points of interest. The first one says that "Medical science knows that a pain reliever must go through the stomach and into the blood stream to relieve pain". The second one says that "Bufferin combines aspirin with two antacid ingredients; gets the pain reliever into the blood streat twice as fast as aspirin". And the third item finishes by saying "So Bufferin acts twice as fast as aspirin to relieve pain. Take two Bufferin tablets the next time pain strikes and get fast relief". |
