Digestion and Cigarettes:

This ad by Camel cigarettes appeared in Time Magazine in the 1930s and is one of my favourites.

Click on an area of the ad  to see it more clearly and to learn about the places and people in this ad.

The ad argues that "The fast pace of Modern Living puts an extra strain on Digestion" and that the "Natural digestive action notably increased by smoking Camels".

The ad goes on to say "People in every walk of life get 'keyed up'. The effects on digestion are known to all!. Smoking a Camel promotes digestion. Enjoy Camel's mildness, the feeling of well being fostered by Camel's matchless blend of costlier tobaccos. Smoke Camel's for digestion's sake!"
