Comments:
This advertisement features an illustration of a doctor rushing on horseback to the aid of a patient. There is a larger-than-life pack of Happy Thought chewing tobacco tucked under his arm rather than his little black bag full of medicine and medical tools. The poem that is written alongside the image is written in such a way to make it sound as if the chewing tobacco “saved his patient’s life.”
