Eno's Fruit Salt
THEN WHAT HIGHER AIM CAN MAN ATTAIN THAN CONQUEST OVER HUMAN PAIN?
ENO'S 'FRUIT SALT' prevents unnecessary suffering and removes disease only by natural laws.
READ the 20-page pamphlet given with each bottle!
ENO'S 'FRUIT SALT' rectifies the Stomach, and makes the Liver laugh with joy by natural means (Or, in other words, Gentleness does more than Violence.)
Its universal success proves the truth of the above assertion.
MORAL FOR ALL –
"I need not be missed if another succeed me; To reap down those fields which in spring I have sown. He who ploughed and who sowed is not missed by the reaper, He is only remembered by what he has done."
The effect of Eno's 'Fruit Salt' upon any Disordered and Feverish Condition is Simply Marvellous. It is, in fact, Nature's Own Remedy, and is an Unsurpassed One.
CAUTION.—Examine the Capsule, and see that it is marked ENO'S 'FRUIT SALT,' otherwise you have the sincerest form of flattery – IMITATION.
Prepared only by J. C. ENO, Ltd., 'FRUIT SALT' WORKS, LONDON, S.E., by J. C. ENO'S Patent.
That's all we know, except that this advert was feliticisouly placed in the endpapers of a 1904 work entitled Poison Romance. Thanks to former Post Editor Bel for pointing this gem out to us.
