Mommy's Little Helper? Beer as "Tonic " and "Invigorator"

Just before selling the brewery in 1903, Mrs. Beck advertised her beer:

Why Certainly!
This beer is good for you.

I know nothing better in the shape of a tonic or invigorator. That's the way doctors talk about Salem beer, well knowing its beneficial effects on young and old who need a mild, harmless, pure invigorant.

Or maybe he's just a creepy old man?
