A devout woman presses a box of Géraudel's Pastilles on her clergyman, the kind of gesture that turned a throat lozenge into a small household remedy. Géraudel's lozenges were sold in the nineteenth century as soothing cures for coughs and hoarse voices, a pitch that suited a profession whose work depended on speaking aloud. Images like this one, which blend piety with product promotion, were a common way for makers of proprietary medicines to win trust. Look at the pastor's expression and the careful staging of the exchange to see how the advertisement wraps a commercial message in a warm domestic scene.
