German Syrup Promoted Amid Health Claims
An old advertisement extols Boschee's German Syrup as the only universal remedy for consumption and lung troubles since 1868. It contrasts with common cough remedies, praising the syrup for severe coughs, bronchitis, and night coughing, noting a new 25 cent size plus regular 75 cent bottle. A joke at the end underscores sensational medical claims.
