Advertisement for Géraudel's Pastilles, 1895. 'IF YOU COUGH TAKE GÉRAUDEL'S PASTILLES. (Which act by Inhalation and Absorption DIRECTLY upon the Respiratory Organs) for INFLUENZA, COUGHS, COLDS, BRONCHITIS, HOARSENESS, CATARRH, ASTHMA, LARYNGITIS, &c. Much preferable to Pills, Potions, and Syrups, &c., which only irritate the Stomach without reaching the seat of the Disease. THEIR EFFECT IS INSTANTANEOUS...most agreeable to the taste...contain the purest essence of Norway Pine Tar, which has attained greater success in bronchial and catarrhal affections than any other substance or drug hitherto employed. They contain no narcotic or other injurious drug, and, unlike numerous other cough remedies, are not required by the Act of Parliament to bear the label "Poison."...can be used at all hours, before or after meals, without the slightest inconvenience...infinitely superior to all other remedial agents...admirable in voice affections, strengthening the larynx and preserving the voice. They should be used constantly by smokers, and by all whose vocal organs have any unusual strain to undergo. They are invaluable to those who are liable, owing to their occupation, to inhale irritating and noxious vapours or dust'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
