And, the advertiser is careful to inform us, a Say-Yo Mint Jujube was "a confection not a medicine." That the jujubes apparently eased dry mouths, quieted coughs, settled stomachs, and unblocked intestinal tracts was just a fully-described-but-carefully-de-emphasized bonus. This is, in fact, an advertisement with something for everyone: a list of ingredients, a pledge of quality, an exploration of medicinal value, an appeal to the faddish. And, for the 21st-century reader, the charming loquaciousness of early advertising.

ON SALE EVERYWHERE SAY-YO MINT JUJUBES Are clean and pure. They are made with care by expert workmen, and are composed of gum arabic, licorice and granulated sugar, flavored with mint, all of which, singly are beneficial, and combined, as we offer them, are most efficacious in all conditions requiring relief. Bicyclists endorse them as more acceptable and beneficial than chewing gum. They keep the mouth moist and sweet. A CONFECTION Smokers and public speakers find them invaluable. One placed in the mouth at night when retiring will prevent that annoying dryness of the throat so prevalent with many, and ensure a restful sleep. They leave no unpleasant taste when awakening. As an effective remedy for coughs and throat irritation they are unequalled. Taken freely they act as a mild and effective laxative. They quickly remove attacks of indigestion. They are better than all the so-called cough drops. If not on sale in your neighborhood, send 5 cents in postage stamps, and we will mail a package. NOT A MEDICINE. Wallace & co.
