The trademark logo of Three Legs Brand traditional household medicine consists of three trousers-clad legs connected at the hips. Founded in 1937 by four Chinese in colonial Singapore, one of its popular products was the ‘cooling water’. Prepared from ‘special Chinese raw medicine’, it is said to prevent fever and toothache caused by ‘heatiness’ in the body.
