A 1950s advert for Beecham's Powders, a brand of cold and flu remedy. The advert appeared in a magazine published in the UK in February 1952. The two photographs show a woman 'before' and 'after' the powders being taken. Beecham began as the family business of chemist Thomas Beecham (1820–1907). His first product was Beecham's Pills, a laxative, in 1842. Subsequent success enabled him to open a shop in Wigan in 1847. Beecham's Powders, an aspirin-based cold and flu powder, was introduced in 1926.
