Description
Original trade card forms part of: Collection no.311, History & Special Collections for the Sciences, Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, UCLA. Front of the card depicts a little child holding her face in her hands, leaning on her elbows. the image is in a painted elaborate frame. Back of the card has the description of the drug. The general tendency of Hood's Sarsaparilla is laxative, but in many cases it is not sufficiently so. And in response to numerous demands for some laxative preparation we have compounded Hood's Vegetable Pills, which are meeting with marked favor. These Pills are mild yet efficient, do not cause pain, or gripe, and act with certainty upon the liver, removing all obstructions from the alimentary canal, and preventing all diseases arising from derangements of the liver and bowels. They are especially valuable as after-dinner Pills, and readily cure constipation and costiveness, nausea, distress in the stomach, etc. They are purely vegetable, and contain no calomel, mercury, or mineral substance of any kind.
