Happy Jack, Come Here, Boy!

["Scott Schrade" <schrade@akrobiz.com>]

I found the following ad for a skin treatment for dogs in a T.V. Guide from the 80's:

*****
HAPPY JACK

After costly treatment failed, this skin disease was believed incurable.  At this point,
HAPPY JACK MANGE MEDICINE was used with dramatic success.  Also, 
HAPPY JACK TRIVERMICIDE: recognized safe & effective by U.S. BVM
against hook, round & tape worms in dogs & cats.  At farm, feed & drug stores.

Pretty odd, huh?  Notice the sub-theme of TOMMY with words like "incurable"
& "success."  Very strange.
