This is a small original 1904 black and white print ad for Pond's Extract. The ad features the caption, "For Neuralgia of the Face." It writes, "Apply a very hot cloth saturated with Pond's Extract. All pains arising from neuralgic and inflammatory conditions, such as headache, toothache, backache, are quickly relieved." The extract was invented by Theron Ponds, after he discovered that making a tea out of witch hazel helped heal cuts and wounds. He sold the product under the name, "Golden Treasure," and when he passed away, the extract was then marketed under, "Pond's Extract."
