“Suicide is a crime, a manifestation of physical and mental weakness. Hence, take care of your health, cleanse your body, by taking Schering Pills, the most effective general antiseptic for internal and urinary systems. [It is a] powerful prophylactic against influences, angina, typhus, and all intestinal and biliary infections.” From Bohemia 16 (December 27, 1925).

Advertisement for Bayer aspirin, with an endorsement from Señorita María Teresa Torrá: “I happened upon 15-year-old girls with desires to die. I thereupon, confidentially, suggested that they take CAFIASPIRINA and they all found [in Bayer] a sure relief for their afflictions.” From Bohemia 21 (September 8, 1929).
