打嗝治愈聲稱它控制的痙攣,最後作為補救為月經來潮和腹脹。
Midol was originally sold in 1911 as a headache and toothache remedy that was considered safer because it did not use the narcotics typically used at the time.[1] It was then promoted as a cure for hiccups claiming it controlled spasms, and finally as a remedy for menstrual cramps and bloating.[2][3][4][5] A formulation sold in the 1980s was made with the sympathomimetic cinnamedrine.[6] It had been reported to have abuse potential as an appetite suppressant and sympathomimetic agent.

這shoe-box money有點類似特別(私房錢);我是讀The Marketing Edge【Thomas Bonoma, The Marketing Edge: Making Strategies Work , New York: Free Press, 1985】看到的。
