This ad was first seen around 1959; the image of the three "blocks" inside the human head was used for several years; the line, "Anacin is like a doctor's prescription...", was also a standard "selling point" in their ad copy for YEARS!. Today, American Home Products' "Whitehall Laboratories" no longer markets Anacin [they're "Wyeth" these days]- they sold it to "Insight Pharmaceuticals" a few years ago...

Worth the money if it works!!!
By the way, I got a 300-tablet bottle of Anacin for 9 dollars today.
I love Anacin, it's the only pain pills that actually work on me.
