The trademark logo of Three Legs Brand traditional household medicine consists of three trousers-clad legs connected at the hips. In the early days, immigrants who arrived in Singapore had trouble acclimatizing to the searing weather in the tropics. While such ailments were common, basic health care was not readily available to the general public up till the 1940s. Over the counter traditional medication was thus an economical solution.
