Description
Picture on front of card depicts a young woman looking out of a window at a bird. There is no glass and her left hand is extended out the window and resting on a ledge. There are flowering plants on either side of the window on the ledge. It appears to be in the country side and there appears to be a city with skyscrapaers in the distance.
Original trade card forms part of: Collection no. 311, History & Special Collections for the Sciences, Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, UCLA.
On back of card: Sleep. Many persons are kept awake at night by some slight nervousness, caused, it may be, by the worry of business, by family cares, or not unfrequently by undigested food...These pills are free from any form of opium or morphine, do not effect the bowels in any manner whatever, but are made solely for the relief of Nervousness, Sleeplessness, Dyspepsia and Indigestion. They may be used alone or in combination with the Little Liver Pills, and in either case will give the most perfect satisfaction...We therefore give you this advice: If you are nervous or dyspeptic, or either one or both, try Carter's Little Nerve Pills, they cannot fail to benefit you.
