Advertisement for Beecham's Cough Pills, 1890. 'HOW SHALL I MEET THE EPIDEMIC?...the question is...exercising THOUSANDS OF THOUGHTFUL MINDS. The air is full of stories of sudden and widespread attacks of subtle sicknesses...affections of the Lungs and affections of the Stomach. For the latter...there is one remedy, unnecessary to be referred to here, beyond the reminder that it is WORTH A GUINEA A BOX...[And] associated with the world's great stomachic agent for the whole fifty years of its fame...there has been and still is available, in BEECHAM'S COUGH PILLS, a truly marvellous safeguard against and cure for INFLUENZA, Bronchial Irritations, Shortness of Breath, Hoarseness, Wheezing, Tightness of the Chest, Asthma, and all other Lung affections...YOU CAN MEET ANY EPIDEMIC armed with these sovereign remedies. One will keep the organs of digestion in natural activity; and, where impaired, will restore them. The other will give full play to the organs of respiration; and, where weakened or obstructed, will effectually strengthen and clear them...Have at hand, ready for any emergency, the twin remedies: BEECHAM'S PILLS and (observe the distinction) BEECHAM'S COUGH PILLS. Both Kinds are the same price'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
