Bob Lilly #74 was my favorite player!
I get why Moistutane seemed like a good name compared to calling it a Lipotropic substance (https://trademarks.justia.com/721/12/moistutane-72112631.html) but to me it sounds flammable and moist is a word many people don’t like.
Here is the second ad in the wild in a 1968 issue of LIFE magazine:

Bonus, Bob Lilly on the cover of a 1972 issue of LIFE with no pads on:

Both of those 1968 ads are posted above — although the one you posted a link to has better resolution than mine. The cover? I’ll stick to the kinder, friendlier Chap Stick ads.
