I was rereading an issue of Smithsonian Magazine, April 1975, and found
this interesting ad.  Read it twice.

[Facing page: a small boy in a chair, with a red nose, a big bowl of
soup, looking miserable.]

WHAT WE'RE DOING FOR YOUR HEALTH IS A LOT MORE COMFORTING THAN A
BOWL OF CHICKEN SOUP.

   When you're sick, you need a good bowl of soup, a tender hand on your
hot brow, sympathy and understanding.  Little things at home relieve a
lot of your misery.
   But a big corporation offers human solace too.  Many of the medicines
you find at your drugstore are made with our chemicals.
   Aspirin to bring down your burning fever, lozenges to soothe your
poor sore throat, sedatives to let you fall asleep at last.
   We help you get through a case of the sniffles.  But we're also
involved in more serious things.
   We make . . . [sundry medical goods: radioactive tracers, cryogenic
freezing for blood, blood analyzers, et cetera]
   We make gases that sterilize surgical equipment.
   And Eveready batteries for hearing aids.
   . . .
   And we constantly experiment.  Because one innovation often leads us
to another.
   We are 109,000 involved human beings who work all around the world on
things and idea for every basic need.
   So today, something we do will touch your life.
   And may even help save it.

Union Carbide:  Today, something we do will touch your life.
