I guess when your head hurts so bad that you can’t even stand the sight of a trademark stamp, you don’t care about side effects, but acetanilid will do a number on your kidneys and liver if you aren’t careful; it’s basically acetaminophen, and here comes the flu pandemic of 1917.

Sarge (Sad Sack) comic book featuring this Regence novelty ad… It gives a kid a break from the relentless violence inflicted on the Sad Sack by Sarge. Beetle Bailey had it a lot easier.
This 1963 “Prudence Penny” insert in the Seattle PI indicates that this is the first Christmas for the little QFC king.
