Earlier versions of this pill were for other purposes, according to one site.  Here's a PAGE FULL of their earlier ads featuring pennyroyal, from 1885-1942.

overshare time! when I was in high school, my "functional periodic pains" were so bad that I'd be curled over the toilet, puking from the pain

About pennyroyal and abortion - when I was working at Whole Foods in the 90s, I learned from someone who worked in the nutrition department that it had a long history of being used to "bring down" a period, aka abortion. The danger, of course, is that herbs aren't standardized and it's really impossible to know how much will work and how much will cause you harm.

I've never heard of PMS pain being called "monthly blackouts" before. I've heard it called some colorful things, but not that.
