This is an ad for a chemical that seemed like a miracle in the 60s (at least to this marketing department), but is one of those things to which people nowadays develop chemical sensitivities. It’s also in some disinfectants (which you might use if you break out in a rash), as a lubricant in eye drops (which you might use if your eyes get bloodshot), and as a binder in lots of different kinds of pills (which you might take for other kinds of allergic reactions). So a gift, yes, but one with some tricky drawbacks.
This ad is from the back cover of Chemical and Engineering News, Nov 13, 1967, which I found on archive.org.
