1908 Schlitz Ad: Beer Is Good for You!

This ad is from April, 1908:


Beer as a healthy tonic--I'm surprised beer companies haven't returned to this, now that we're obsessed with whole grains again. Apparently they also used to call Schlitz "liquid bread."

Thanks to Larry H. at the Los Angeles Times Daily Mirror blog!

What a shame biliousness is no longer common parlance!

biliousness:

1. Physiology, Pathology. pertaining to bile or to an excess secretion of bile.
2. Pathology. suffering from, caused by, or attended by trouble with the bile or liver.
3. peevish; irritable; cranky.
4. extremely unpleasant or distasteful: a long scarf of bright, bilious green.
