This advertisement for Walter Brothers Beer makes claims similar to those advertised for patent medicines you could see within the same newspapers.  Despite the claim that it helps make a fine snack until mealtime, the vibe it gives mimics the ads we'd see in later years, be it for cigarettes or other types of beer- two people enjoying one another's company, only made better by the addition of the product to their experience.
