Single sheet on crepe paper, 184 x 120mm, printed on recto only along the outer margins, central box apparently blank - though impregnated with secret message to be revealed when heated; clean and fresh. An advertising novelty produced by the famous firm of Beecham's. As the note along the left margin states: 'When you suffer from colds, chills, influenza, headache, rheumatism, nerve pains, Beecham's Powders Act like Magic'. The present curiosity is itself a magical trick to highlight the tag line. The application of a glowing piece of burned string to the central panel will reveal a secret message - which in this case appears to reveal a tortoise! A previous example, showed a chicken, with another, which though difficult to discern, incorporated the phrase 'Beecham's Pills'.

Small 8vo, single folded sheet, pp. [4]; front and rear 'covers' printed in red, with music notation in black; some minor soiling and spotting, but otherwise very good. One of a series of advertising song sheets promoting Beecham's Pills, including written score and lyrics for the popular sea-song 'The Anchor's Weigh'd' by John Braham. The pills, originally sold as a laxative, first appeared on the market in 1842, and were invented by the chemist Thomas Beecham (1820-1907), grandfather of the famous conductor. The pills themselves, for the cure of 'bilious and nervous disorders', were a combination of aloe, ginger, and soap, and unusually for patent medicines, they did actually have some positive effect on the digestive process. The 'Beecham's Music Portfolio' eventually ran to some twenty volumes, each containing 30 popular songs for voice and piano. Originally published in St Helen's, Lancashire, from where the firm was based, the complete volumes of songs could be purchased from the company, whilst individual songs sheets, as here, appear to have been sold, or indeed given away, by pharmacies.
