Midol menstrual pain booklet, 1959 Midol, which is American medication for menstrual pain, published this booklet containing a gold mine of outdated ideas and ways of expressing things, and some outright silliness. My criticism here is not for Midol but for the booklet. I'm showing only a few pages. Tambrands generously gave the booklet to this museum. See the NEXT PAGES of the booklet.         The doctor seems to be enjoying himself.   You would read elsewhere in the booklet that "women's greatest physical problem" is menstrual pain. "[F]emale health" sounds as if the company is handling women with tongs. See the NEXT PAGES of the booklet. See the NEXT PAGES of the booklet.
