Museum of Menstruation and Women's Health Lysol douche ad, June 1934, McCall's magazine, U.S.A Enlarged text See the whole ad here. I wonder if by "heart trouble" the woman could also have meant problems with her husband's affection, a feature of many of these ads. Ads of this era sometimes included European authorities, Europe still retaining its medical edge in many people's minds. Note that the physician is just a private practitioner, not the discoverer of this or that. But at least she's a woman. Read 1930s criticism of Zonite and Lysol and see Lysol ads from 1928 and 1948.
