From 1916, 'Woman — the weaker sex'


We came across this advertisement while combing through our microfilm files. It's from the Nov. 3, 1916, edition of The Herald.

It advertises a tonic that "corrects nervous irritability, exhaustion and other distressing symptoms of the deranged feminine organs." You could buy a trial package by sending 10 cents to a doctor in Buffalo, NY.
