“Heat from a Barler Stove is healthful!” the ad reads.

Here’s another health tip:  Wear your clothes during wintertime.

And yet another health tip for the kiddos: Don’t stand next to a superheated space heater when you’re stark naked.

I found this ad in a turn-of-the-century Ladies’ Home Journal and was scandalized by the children’s lack of garments. I’m not sure what the subtle advertising message is here, and if anyone has any ideas, I’d love to hear them.

These kids need to put some clothes on!
