A smiling young boy wearing a sailor's cap is seen through a porthole holding up a notice proclaiming the virtues of the remedy. The porthole seems to represent also the round packaging of the product (Robert-Sterkendries, loc. cit.)

A product called Pomada Aspaime was made and sold by Laboratorios SOKATARG, which had been founded in Barcelona ca. 1915 by Joan Gratacós Vallmajo (1883-1934) -- Hervás Pujal, op. cit.
