A small pharmaceutical advertising box for Wybert lozenges by Gaba, shown here in a free sample format. This version is distinguished by its blue and white two-tone design and an explicit medical message on the back, intended for smokers, singers, and public speakers, mentioning uses for coughs, hoarseness, and the flu. The front bears the inscription "Free Sample" as well as the Gaba logo, a registered trademark, in a style very representative of pharmaceutical products from the interwar period. An authentic object blending health, advertising, and social history.
