| Description | Advertisement for 'Iron Jelloids'. This is an advertisement for 'THE GREAT TONIC - Iron Jelloids' The cartoon illustration depicts a crowd of tiny sailors running across the deck of a ship towards the captain, who is shouting ''Jelloids' AHOY!!!' The scene is described in a little verse: 'From off the bridge the Captain spake, / The crew rushed to obey - / The order was that they should take / IRON JELLOIDS thrice a day.' In this 1918 advertisement, iron jelloids are being sold as a general health remedy, with particular benefits to soldiers suffering from nervous disorders. Although no longer widely advertised, iron jelloids are still manufactured, and are used specifically to treat deficiencies of iron, B vitamins and vitamin C. |
