Vintage Ads, 1910s-1920s
Scanned from Bronwen Meredith's "Vogue Body and Beauty Book" 1977. Click image for 1362 x 1822 size.
1917 ad for Urodonal:
"Triumph of Modern Science
Rheumatism, Gravel, Gout, Arterio-Sclerosis, Obesity.
Medical Opinion: Urodonal is the most powerful solvent of uric acid, being 37 times more active than lithia.
It is rapidly absorbed by the digestive organs, does not over strain the stomach or kidneys, and can be used for any length of time; moreover, Uorodnal is rapidly eliminated through the kidneys - a point of great importance. The water in which it is held in solution passes through these organs more easily and rapidly than plain water, and that in spite of the load of waste products that Urodonal carries away with it.
Furthemore, the diuresis kidney secretion is regular and sustained, and there are no paroxysmal attacks such as those induced by certain diuretics which result in dangerous congestion of the kidneys."
1922 ad for The Ambedia Back Puff: "A woman's difficulty overcome."
1922 Benito illustration:
"Achieving beauty without makeup, through electricity and gentle massages, that's the secret of the beauty specialist".

Flapper girl, 1910s
Click image for 768 x 900 size.
"A young worker mends army uniforms in America. Her sailor suit-style is typical of childrenswear at the time. Boys would have worn a similar top, but with trousers. The bows which girls wore in their hair became known as 'flappers' because of the way they fell onto the head. The name would stick with this generation, as they grew up in the Twenties."
Scanned and quoted from the book "Decades of Fashion" by Harriet Worsley.
