Penis Reduction in the news
- Circumcision (male) - Mayo ClinicCircumcision is a surgery to remove the skin that covers the tip of the penis, also called the foreskin. The procedure is fairly common for newborn boys in parts of the world, including the United States. Circumcision later in life can be done, but it has more risks and recovery may take longer.
- Genital warts - Symptoms and causes - Mayo ClinicThe human papillomavirus (HPV) causes the most common of sexually transmitted infections. Vaccines can help protect against the HPV strains that cause genital warts.
- Erectile dysfunction - Symptoms and causes - Mayo ClinicErectile dysfunction means not being able to get and keep an erection firm enough for sexual activity. It also is called impotence.
- Lichen sclerosus - Symptoms and causes - Mayo ClinicScarring of the penis can cause painful erection, poor urine flow and an inability to retract the foreskin. People with vulvar lichen sclerosus are also at an increased risk of squamous cell carcinoma. In children, constipation is a common complication.
- Genital herpes - Symptoms and causes - Mayo ClinicOverview Genital herpes is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI). The herpes simplex virus (HSV) causes genital herpes. Genital herpes can often be spread by skin-to-skin contact during sexual activity.
- Peyronie's disease - Diagnosis and treatment - Mayo ClinicIn some people, medicines injected directly into the scar tissue on the penis might reduce curving and pain linked with Peyronie's disease. Depending on the treatment, you might be given medicine that goes on the skin called a local anesthetic to prevent pain during the shots.
An old ad that I found in the files…
Posted by richard in Founder's Blog
A couple days ago I promised I’d start scanning in and posting some of the ads that I’ve found in the files from when grandad and Uncle Piccilo were running the business. Â Here’s one that must have run sometime in the late 1950s, because that’s when they were in Minnetonka and using the given PO box. Â All I have is a tear sheet, but I suspect this ad ran in the back third of Popular Mechanics.
I suspect this ad was created by either Piccillo or perhaps by Baylord & Associates, which was the New York advertising firm that they worked with for most of the 1950s and early 1960s. Eventually they moved over to Grant & Grant, a different firm in New York, and sales took off around 1964.
Note that the price for a month supply was $3, which at the time included shipping. Â Based on the customer records I’ve seen, I suspect that they were selling about 1500 or so bottles a month, although about 2/3 of those were to “repeat” customers.
Richard was also trying to get certifications from various medical societies around this time; maybe next I’ll post the ad I found showing a doctor who recommended that most of his male patients take these.
