It's not false advertising, one of the side effects of opiates (and opioids) is to inhibit the cough reflex. If it's a chesty cough this is a bad thing, especially so in those pre-antibiotic days, but for dry coughs it's a perfectly reasonable cough suppressant. Apart from the fact that it's extremely addictive, pure and unadulterated heroin isn't particularly dangerous if dosed correctly.
