Advertisement for Géraudel's Pastilles, 1895. '"Come on Brown; don't give in, my boy; let's finish the race." BROWN (who has suddenly pulled up, coughing): "Can't, my dear fellow; this mist makes me cough, and I have forgotten to bring my box of Geraudel's Pastilles with me."...Slowly dissolved in the mouth, they give off a soothing, refreshing, and healing vapour of Pine Tar, which is thus breathed into the bronchia and lungs upon the very seat of disease, affording immediate relief, and effecting a gradual and lasting cure. Owing to their direct action upon the bronchial tubes and lungs, they are infinitely superior to all other remedial agents...GERAUDEL'S PASTILLES were the only Pine Tar preparation to which an award was given by the International Jury of the Exposition Universelle of 1878, Gold Medal, Paris, 1885; tried by the French Government, by Ministerial decision, on the advice of the board of Health. Authorised in Russia, by the Imperial Government, with the approval of the Medical Board. Price per Case, 1s. 1½d., with directions for use. Can be ordered through any Chemist, or will be sent post free on receipt of price, from the WHOLESALE DEPOT for GREAT BRITAIN: FASSETT & JOHNSON, 32, SNOW HILL, LONDON, E.C...'.
