His years of study never finished For every new day brings discoveries in the field of medicine. Light where there once was darkness

Comments:

Once again we see a Camel pack next to a medical book, this time framed by a microscope and slides. The doctor is presented as always seeking new knowledge and as primarily concerned with “preventing disease.” The advertisement attempts to convince people that Iife this is the case, if doctors truly care about “protecting and prolonging life,” then Camels must not be bad for one’s health if even doctors recommend them. Note that the M and D, the first letters of the first two words, are accentuated in red, reinforcing the associated cigarette with medical prestige.

Keywords:

Doctor, Female, Irritation, Male, Mild, Throat
