vintageadsOne of the more popular styles of this era (and one of my favorites) is showing the inner workings of the human body, the flow of medications, or as George Lois put it, ""the witless, nasty, sinus and nasal passages world of over the counter pharmaceutical advertising". Here is Coldene's (often repeated) description of five ways that colds attack.

The anatomical aspect of these ads is endlessly fascinating. I'll try to uncover some others.

And these, together with Ephedrine (a decongestant), plus Ammonium chloride (an expectorant) and Methylpyriline fumarate (an antihistamine) tell you why Coldene is so potent."
