How can an uncontrollable cough make a man go on a rampage? (1967)

Here's a very rare Vicks Formula 44 cough syrup ad from 1967, featuring wrestler-turned actor Harold Sakata, better known, of course, as Oddjob from the 1964 James Bond movie, "Goldfinger".

Sakata is coming home from work, but has a coughing spell that turns him into a one-man wrecking machine, until his wife intervenes.

Edit, 11/25/18: A second ad was included, but the video we originally posted was deleted.
