I had not known that "worms" were such a fear for mothers in 1930. Lune seems to have had a long run, to judge from Pinterest exemplars of their two and three dimensional advertisements. WC may be the most engaging of the three Lune illustrations, with its monkey servants. It is this handbill asks for 5, not 6, francs per box of Lune. Dewormers, detergents, and nit-removers! Fables take us into a very concrete human world! See other Marie-Rose handbills here. Notice the contrasting color work on the two versions of #13, WC.
