Slide 19

Slide #19: "The maiden with laughing eyes and rosy cheeks -- a picture of health -- is offering you Vegetine, the most reliable vitalizer of the human blood," notes the text accompanying this picture. Today there are other tonics on the market for "tired blood," etc., but they would not go as far as Vegetine's advertising copywriters who promised that "it is a radical cure and will reach the most severe cases of diseases arising from impurity of the blood."
