Advertisement for Beecham's Pills, 1890. 'Extract from a Naval Officer's Journal - Montevideo, December 17th, 1889. H.M.S. "Swallow" (gun vessel) arrived to-day from Rio de Janeiro (where she had been sent on account of the recent Revolution) with yellow fever on board, and was, of course, placed in strict quarantine. Being so near Christmas, many luxuries were required from the shore, and she signalled us a long list of necessaries for the festive season to be sent out in the quarantine boat. Among the first of the articles on the list was BEECHAM'S PILLS, 3 BOXES FOR THE CAPTAIN!' Royal Navy warship, with figures spelling out 'BEECHAMS PILLS 3 BOXES' in semaphore. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
