1955 magazine advertisement for "Anojin", a medication boasting an "ideal blend" (理想的配合) of four superior ingredients to stop pain, calm hot flushes, and lower fevers -- in other words, work wonderfully in re colds.

But what I really like about it is the face:

The New You, emerging -- literally! -- from the discarded and already fading shell of your old self. Your eyes are wider, your features significantly daintier; you've ducked into the powder room to touch up your lipstick -- even your hairstyle has tightened from that frumpy nothing into a kicky bob. The implied age difference has got to be at least fifteen years.

The difference between this and our age's "before/after" photos (one slouched and the other photoshopped): a well-executed line drawing is pleasant on the eyes.
