§ Dietary advice for a range of complaints on convenient tear-out slips (there are several identical slips for each complaint), a promotional give-away from Fairchild Bros. & Foster drug manufacturer. The company was based in New York and specialized in digestive aids including Pepsencia, Peptogenic Powder, and Bacillus Bulgaricus, which are advertised on the inside of the wrappers. Remarkably, revised editions were still being printed 25 years later, in 1941, with very little change in the design. The company was acquired by Winthrop Chemical Company, which was then acquired by Sterling Drug, Inc., in 1946. Item #125823
