Antique c.1910 Scott's Emulsion "Jingle Joys No. 2" Children's Advertising Booklet


An original, antique pharmaceutical advertising promotional booklet titled "New Jingle Joys for Scott's Emulsion Girls and Boys No. 2." Dating to the early 20th century (circa 1908–1920), this small illustrated booklet is a classic example of Edwardian-era patent medicine marketing ephemera. These pieces were originally distributed as complimentary giveaways through local pharmacies and doctors' offices to promote the health benefits of cod liver oil to families.


The booklet features charming, period-correct full-color lithograph illustrations and nursery-style rhymes designed to make dietary supplements appealing to children. The back cover features the company's iconic, historic trademark illustration of a fisherman carrying a giant codfish on his back.
