Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Celebs & Entertainment, Alternative & Green Health

This is a Listerine ad from 1932, claiming colds could be prevented by gargling twice a day with their product. Go here for the full text, which includes gems like "Wise eating, moderate exercise, ample rest are half the battle in warding off colds.

Hysterical. If only this were true!
