When Men Were Men, And Women ...

Speaking of adverts, as we were earlier, how about this one from Home and Garden Magazine, 1961?

Enough to give Don Shenker a coronary.

This product would be a lot safer amd much more effective in real hygiene terms than most of those now on the market. Assuming that the whisk(e)y was the real stuff.

Bit sexist there Dick, I would have used that too :)

Subrosa: Yes, but you're a hardy scottish female. You swallow enthusiastically up there rather than spitting.

Whisky! I'm talking about whisky! ;-0

If it'll give Shenker a coronary then maybe I can chip in to help resurrect the brand?

Dick, I had an older friend who when he went to Spain in the late 70s, would not let Spanish Water touch his mouth in case he got a case of the scoots. So he washed his mouth out with whisky after brushing his teeth. He said he spat it out but I'm not so sure.
