Visual motif: Woman, half-length, left pose, full face; holding Cushman's Menthol Inhaler. Catarrh, neuralgia & headache no more. Manufactured by Cushman, Three Rivers, Michigan." Cushman stated in his ads that "Menthol is the active principle of Oil Peppermint, Very volatile at ordinary temperature. Cushman's Menthol Inhaler is so constructed that crystals of pure menthol are held in a glass tube in such loose conditions that air passes freely through them, and is thoroughly mentholized, conveying enough menthol to the delicate membranes and nerves throughout the head, throat and lungs to produce the cool and exhilerating effect peculiar to oil peppermint, affording quick relief of inflammatory diseases; destroying disease germs and miasm. The Inhaler is neat, clean, durable. Does not require renewing. Convenient to carry in the pocket, ready to use at any time. Lasts eight to twelve months."
