CAPE ARGUS - 1918, November 6 - 16
Look what doctors and pharmacists recommended in the time of the Spanish Flu in 1918:
INFLUENZA – Be on your Guard
All doctors, nurses and those who come in
contact with influenza patients should apply SIBBALENE SKIN OINTMENT to the inside
of the nostrils night and morning, because it is highly antiseptic and will
prevent infection. SIBBALENE is non-irritant and soothing in its action. It
can be used quite freely and without fear of irritation.
"Granny Chamberlain" warned people who had never
had INFLUENZA that they had no idea of the suffering caused by it and how
stubborn it resisted medical treatment. She says that nothing else provides as
much relief as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, as it removes the pain in the chest,
calms the fever and relaxes the entire body. Since the disease can easily turn into pneumonia, one should
start using Chamberlains before the cough gets too severe.

The System recovers very slowly, owing to the gradual elimination of the poison with which it is filled. The quickest and most efficient way to get rid of the toxin is through the pores of the skin by the use of the Electric Light Bath, followed by Massage. Ask your doctor to prescribe this treatment and come to the Palace Baths, Markham’s Buildings, Adderley & Hout Streets, Cape Town.

If attacked, place yourself in your doctor’s hands. If impossible, then act on advice outlined in the following unsolicited testimonial.
Stutterheim, 22nd Oct., 1918
Dear Sir, - I feel that I ought to let you know what a lot of good your Nerve-Pain Specific has done in our house for “Spanish Influenza.” I am recommending it to many. I can safely say it is just splendid. The only pity is that so few know of it as a cure for “Spanish Flu.” It simply cures a patient in 24 hours, it takes away the headache, pain in the limbs, and it also takes away the temperature. I see you have it advertised as a cure for Influenza, but think you can safely say – also for “Spanish Influenza.” For the last 18 months or so I have always had it in the house for Headache and Toothache, and have always found it a certain cure for both.
A dealer writes: “Please send more Nerve-Pain Specific. It is taking a prominent part in coping with the Epidemic.”
A remedy for the Cough is also needed, and for this we recommend “LALA’s COUGHCURO,” which is a stimulating expectorant, as advised by the medical authorities.
Nerve-Pain Specific price, 4/-, by post 4/6. LAL’S Coughcuro, price 1/6, by post 2/-
obtainable everywhere.
