Oct 1911: Sanatogen ad «The Trumpet of Fame»

This advertisement promotes Sanatogen as a health restorative, particularly effective for those suffering from nervous breakdown. It contains endorsements from various doctors and public figures who claim it has improved their health and vitality. The ad encourages readers to ask their doctors and consider Sanatogen for conditions like nervous debility, brain-fag, sleeplessness, depression, digestive troubles, anemia, and wasting diseases.

The Trumpet of Fame

Sir Charles Cameron, C.B., M.D., etc.,
writes:- "I have arrived at the conclusion that Sanatogen is an excellent nerve food of the highest nutritive value, containing as it does, a large amount of organic phosphorus which is offered to the tissues in exactly the form in which it can be easily absorbed."

Mr. Marshall Hall, K.C., M.P.,
writes:-" I think it only right to say that I have tried Sanatogen and find it to be a most excellent food."

Sir Luke White, M.P.,
writes:- "My experience of Sanatogen confirms the medical opinion. It has a dıs inct restorative effect, and I no longer have that feeling of fatigue."

"Sanatogen advertises itself by the good it does. It certainly restored me to health after the worst nervous breakdown I ever had."
SARAH GRAND.

This statement, by the famous author of "The Heavenly Twins," is echoed by millions of people who have found that Sanatogen really improved their health-really invigorated their nerves and gave them a new joy of living.

It is their testimony which has made Sanatogen so famous-they who really advertise Sanatogen-who urge their friends to take it who tell everyone what it has done for them-how it has strengthened them and revitalized them.

No wonder that Sanatogen has become a household word, when millions of enthusiasts are sounding its praise!

But their testimony-great as it is and ringing with conviction -would not alone have given Sanatogen its wonderful fame. The question would still be asked: "What do the doctors say about Sanatogen?"

For the same reason "Ovaltine" is also extensively

Oct 1988: MMR vaccination ad from Health Education Authority «GIVE YOUR CHILD SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD. A VACCINATION AGAINST BRAIN DAMAGE, BLINDNESS AND DEAFNESS.»

This advertisement highlights the importance of the MMR vaccination for children, emphasizing the risks of brain damage, blindness, and deafness associated with measles, mumps, and rubella. It encourages parents to vaccinate their children around the age of four or five, before they start school, and notes the significant reduction in these diseases due to the vaccine in other countries.

GIVE YOUR CHILD SOMETHING YOU NEVER HAD. A VACCINATION AGAINST BRAIN DAMAGE, BLINDNESS AND DEAFNESS.

Measles, Mumps and Rubella are much more a
cause for concern than people used to think.
Measles can lead to convulsions, inflammation
of the brain and deafness. Mumps can cause
meningitis and deafness. Rubella, when passed
on to pregnant women, can cause their babies
to be born deaf, blind or brain damaged.
Thankfully, most children are not at risk from
serious complications. Nevertheless, each year
without fail, a small number of children die from these common childhood diseases. Now the
MMR (Measles Mumps and Rubella) vaccination can prevent this. Ideally, your child should be
given it during their second year. However, if your children are four or five they can have the
MMR vaccination before they start school. But you can ask your doctor about
getting it done at any time. In other countries such as Sweden and America,
MMR has already reduced Measles, Mumps and Rubella by 98%. You can get the
information you need from your local GP or clinic. All you have to do is ask.

jackpot, plus the existing £50,000 weekly prize.
And remember, if you don't score in one draw,
your Bonds will still be there for a replay in the next.

Oct 1956: Anti-Fade Brake Linings ad from Ferodo «Braking points»

This is an advert for Ferodo Anti-Fade Brake Linings. It is a black and white image of a stoplight with some tail lights from cars behind it. The ad suggests that if a British motorist applies his brakes, it’s pretty certain that they are lined with Ferodo Anti-Fade Brake Linings. It also notes that most motor manufacturers specify Ferodo for their new vehicles, and most garages prefer to fit Ferodo.

Oct 1972: Toaster ad from Morphy-Richards «Not all our design improvements are on the inside.»

This advert features a line of toasters with different designs. The toasters offer five settings, a hinged crumb tray, and the ability to toast one or two slices at once.

Not all our design improvements are on the inside.

Sometimes they're on the outside like
the three shown here. They're all good
designs, but you'll probably fancy the one
that fits best with your own kitchen colour
scheme.
Inside, they're all equally good. For
instance, you can choose how brown to have
your toast. There are five settings, so it's
more or less from hot bread to charcoal
grillrd (though you'll find all of them useful if
you use different types of bread, because
obviously moister, thicker bread needs longer).
Then there's the advantage of having
a hinged crumb tray, since it's simple to
release and easy to clean.
And, of course, they all do one or two
slices at once.
Like it says, not all of our improvements
are on the inside. But a lot of them are.

Oct 1922: Sun-Maid Seeded Muscat Raisins ad from Sun-Maid Raisin Growers (+Sun-Maid Seedless Raisins) «Raisin Foods mean Healthy Children»

An advertisement for Sun-Maid Raisins. The text talks about the health benefits of raisins and how they can give children energy. There is also a picture of a box of Sun-Maid raisins and a raisin pie.

Raisin Foods mean Healthy Children

see how they thrive on Sun - Maids
Bright and happy faces - that
reflect the healthy body - are
direct results of giving children
raisin foods. They mean fresh
energy.
Sun-Maids build up the frame
--for every pound contains 1550
Calories (units of bodily heat
energy) of nourishment, and
they are 71 per cent. pure fruit
sugar. That is why children
like Sun-Maids so much, and
this sugar is practically pre-
digested-it will not injure the
most delicate stomach.
And there's iron in them too.
Every child needs a little iron
daily, but that need is vital.
Supply this need, mothers, with
Sun-Maids, which are rich in
assimilable iron. This raisin
iron is a pleasant and powerful
tonic. Its energising properties
act quickly.
Give children new dishes
Novelty in food is the best way
to coax a flagging appetite.
Children need no "forcing" to
eat raisin dishes, for there are
so many different ways they
can be served.
The 15 oz. packets are for home use, while the
neat 2½d. packets are for between-meal eating.
Write for the Sun-Maid Recipe Book and

Oct 1936: Concrete Subways ad from Cement and Concrete Association (+Concrete Roads) «LET CONCRETE SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES»

An advertisement promoting concrete subways to help protect children from being killed by traffic. Subways made of concrete are inexpensive to build and need little maintenance.

LET
CONCRETE
SAVE OUR CHILDREN'S
LIVES

61,000 CHILDREN were killed and
injured on our roads last year. Are we
doing anything to safeguard them this year,
next year ?
Children are not allowed on railway lines,
neither should they be compelled to cross
busy roads.
Hundreds of lives might be saved each
year if schools were provided with subways
similar to that illustrated. Work people
in factories-so often built alongside busy
arterial roads nowadays-deserve similar
protection.
This is another way in which concrete can
contribute to road safety-for such sub-
ways constructed in concrete are inex-
pensive to build and cost nothing to main-
tain.
All who are interested in road surfaces should
write to the Cement and Concrete Association, Dept.
AD.3, 52 Grosvenor Gardens, London, S.W.1 for
illustrated booklet "Concrete Roads" which will be
sent free on request.
