Advertisement for Eno's "Fruit Salt'', 1895. '...THE VICTORIAN REIGN IS UNPARALLELED IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD FOR ITS PURITY, GREATNESS, AND GOODNESS. A HOME RULE ELYSIUM. LORD BEACONSFIELD said MOSES, MUNOO, and MOHAMMED all made Cleanliness a Religion...JEOPARDY OF LIFE - THE GREAT DANGER OF VITIATED AIR. "Former generations perished in venial ignorance of all sanitary laws...A blessing in all ailments - waste of life in England - 140,000 persons every year DIE unnatural deaths...In about two and a half minutes all the blood contained in the human system, amounting in the adult to nearly three gallons, traverses the respiratory surface...ENO'S "FRUIT SALT" removes foetid or poisonous matter (the groundwork of disease) from the blood by natural means, allays nervous excitement, depression, and restores the nervous system to its proper condition...You cannot overstate its great value in keeping the blood pure and free from disease. "Since my arrival in Egypt in August last, I have, on three occasions, been attacked by fever. On the first occasion I lay in hospital for six weeks. The last attacks have been completely repulsed in a short time by the use of your valuable FRUIT SALT..., gratefully yours, A Corporal 19th Hussars".' From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
