    Not quite sure what link they are trying to make between beauty and "monthly disturbances", but I would like to know what was in Lydia's potion. I'm betting either chocolate or alcohol - possibly both!

      In its original formula, which was extremely popular during Prohibition, you would have found 40% alcohol! Plus a very large portion of natural herbal compounds, used for hundreds of years to treat a variety of women's "complaints" that eventually gynecologists took over treating with "modern medical care." The article about it ~ and the woman who invented it ~ in Wikipedia is quite an eye opener! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Pinkham#

    Also I should have pointed out that Revlon's Ultra Violet was the "...first really new make-up color created in years!"
    How great is that?

    All about Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and the woman who invented it, is quite an eye opener!! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Pinkham#
