[livejournal.com profile] sylphslider 's comments down at the Lysol ad made me think of these:

In 1937 Listerine prevented colds!
1937 Listerine ad

In 1956 Listerine prevented colds and "infectious dandruff"!

1956 Listerine ad: "No matter what else you do for a cold ... LISTERINE, quick!"

1956 Listerine ad: "Don't fool with infectious dandruff!"


And as a bonus, here's a link to a Time magazine article from 1976 detailing the Federal Trade Commission's ruling that Listerine could no longer be advertised as a cold remedy or preventative.
