Newspaper ad for Meds menstrual tampon (Personal Products Corporation, 1941; newspaper unknown)

The shouting woman wears a nurse-like hat, consistent with the Meds wish to associate itself with medicine; Modess, its sister product, bore a cross on its box.
Someone at Tambrands, which gave MUM this ad and hundreds of other items, wrote "1941" on the upper-right corner, probably at that time.

The ad downloads in two sections to speed the process.
