Not certain that skeletons were the best imagery for a patent medicine company.

You can see a lot more calendar pages here, the results of Google Image Search.

Some of their calendars have Alfred E. Neuman. He starts appearing about 10 rows down in the search.

Alfred E. Neuman was around way before Mad Magazine. I think he shows signs of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Can anyone out there can verify that?

So that's why the stuff actually worked. The primary metabolic product is acetaminophen (Tylenol). That is, if you survived the accompanying cyanosis.
