stick some radium up yo’ ass

renalfailure offers a precious encouragement post every week so I have taken a leaf out of his book after discovering this 1930s marital aid from Home Products.

From the company’s brochure:

Weak Discouraged Men!

Now Bubble Over with Joyous Vitality

Through the Use of

Glands and Radium

“. . . properly functioning glands make themselves known in a quick, brisk step, mental alertness and the ability to live and love in the fullest sense of the word . . . A man must be in a bad way indeed to sit back and be satisfied without the pleasures that are his birthright! . . . Try them and see what good results you get!”  

All Home Product customer orders were shipped in a plain wrapper.
