All kinds of vintage ad wrong here: the manic-eyed glee, the push to get kids to take laxative pills, and the supposition that a girl would be really happy to tell everyone that she has a dandy laxative tablet in her mouth.

Cubeb (Piper cubeba), also called Java pepper, is a plant found in Java and Sumatra. The cubeb fruits look like little black peppercorns and were used for aphrodisiacs, to ward off demons, and even to treat infertility. These “medicated” cigarettes were supposed to alleviate throat ailments, bronchial problems and were “a specific against fogs,” too (a consideration in all those London particulars). Savar’s Cubebs (ad from 1884) also contained “soothing” cannabis and stramonium (Datura stramonium) - that is, jimson weed. Jimson weed, according to Wikipedia, is a “powerful hallucinogen” (it is also called “loco weed”).
No wonder you weren’t going to notice that sore throat, or the fog.

“I dreamed an owl winked at me as I sat on the moon in my Maidenform - err, nightgown. And then I gargled some oil.” I don’t want to know what happened after that.
“Yes, I would love to have a taste of your Mug-Wump Specific,” said the snake, who had also been feeling out of sorts lately.

“I will give you this wonderful bouquet, Mother, as long as you never mention the phrases ‘Vermifuge Comfits’ or 'Worm Lozenges’ ever again,” said little Millicent decidedly.
Brown’s Household Panacea: it makes you feel great but it really doesn’t do anything helpful if, say, your stove is disconnected and on fire.
