This appeared at the end of an "OZZIE & HARRIET" episode, when Norwich Pharmacal alternated sponsorship with G.E.'s Hotpoint division. Interesting idea of mixing a visual image of "Henry VIII" (supposedly the greatest "royal pig" of all time) and the "hard sell" approach Pepto-Bismol used back then. Today, Procter & Gamble markets "Pepto-Bismol", stressing the "handy tablets" more than the original liquid....
"G", for "gastric distress", no doubt. ;)
