The ad with extra blather and less filling information! It's a great relief, it's a sure thing, it's genuine (because of that spiffy swan trademark, you see) - but what, oh what are these pills actually, er, aiming at?Why, "those distressing ailments peculiar to females," of course. Oh, those. Well. That certainly makes one feel empowered, doesn't it? I'm distressed and peculiar!
Incidentally, if that swan is coming with healing on its wings, I don't want it flying around inside the house. And won't those pills fall off its wings? A messenger bag - gripped in the talons - would be a better idea.
Also, this swan was not acquainted with William Butler Yeats (it seems to live in Canada, for one thing). Can you just see those five and twenty swans at Coole swooping around dispensing Great Female Remedies?
Maybe Mrs. Yeats knew something about this, though.

Nice little blog you have here. Finally something I can relate to and actually understand, having worked with old 18th and 19th century newspapers while working for the government (CT).
Look forward to reading more tibits and other assorted goodies from your Virtual Dime Museum.
BTW: I found your blog through Wit's Bitches.
LOL
That swan looks like it could duck dive on any distressed female!
Does it help that I barrack for the Sydney Swans Aussie Rules football team?
the only ailment peculiar to all females that I know of is being afflicted with MEN! ;)
