Pastille Pulmoll Dust Jackets

1940? Three French dust-jackets, 9˝" x 7", apparently for a school book, advertising "Pastille Pulmoll"  €6 each at St. Ouen, August, '13.  One duplicate of TH without the "Grande Pharmacie La Fontaine" stamp on the cover for $5 from Mme Denise Debuigne, Rennes, France, Feb., '05.

The title continues "calme la Toux * flatte le Gout" (perhaps "calms the cough, soothes the taste"?)  Two marked "Face au Pont Grand Pharmacie. J. Fontaine.  Compiegne."  Highly colorful cartoons of TH, GA, and TMCM grace the covers of these three dust jackets.  The back cover has basic road signs.  Inside on the flaps are lists of districts of France. 

1960? Brown, red, and gold presentation of FC designed by R. Odoul with a long cartoon advertisement on the back cover.  Pastilles Pulmoll.  $5 from Mme Denise Debuigne, Rennes, France, Feb., '05.

Pulmoll is here using the same catch-phrase as on the dust-jackets from a different era.  The side flaps still present districts of France.  The cartoon on the back cover seems to say that Grandpa gets over the cough from smoking cigars by taking Pulmoll tablets.
