Now She Can Cook Breakfast Again

Now she can cook breakfast again …

From a 1950s advertisement for Mornidine, an often prescribed medication for morning sickness. It was momma’s little helper, but in a different kind of way.

It’s obvious this is an advertisement created by men for a woman’s “problem.” The focus of the ad seems to be more concerned with the new father’s recent lack of meals than the new mother’s recent bouts of nausea.
