“Calomel for Kiddies!”  

This is the advertisement we referenced in episode 24 (Mercury as Medicine).  As discussed in the episode, Calomel was a powder-form preparation of mercury that was used for various ailments, especially in children.  This is a mail-order advertisement so that you too can send off $1.00 and receive a shipment of mercury powder to give to your child.  

Spoiler alert if you haven’t heard the episode:  Don’t give your children (or anyone) mercury.
