4. Still Being Advertised Well Into the Forties, Ma'am

I have an interest in old pulp magazines and such from between the world wars, and their advertisements are instructive. Nostrums to 'unblock menses' can be found in 'racy' titles aimed at men, and stage and romance titles aimed at women. I've no idea if they worked, mind, but people certainly sent off for them often enough to support the frequent advertisements.
