Description
Reverse side of card shows an infant on the floor in front of a dog. A cat is near the infant. Original trade card forms part of: Collection no. 311, History & Special Collections for the Sciences, Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, UCLA. Additional card text: The very popular picture - "can't you talk?" is the subject of the album card herewith presented. The appeal made by the original picture to sympathies as tender as they are universal, will not, we trust, be deemed any the less acceptable in the miniature copy offered for your approval in this, the eighth issue of our series. And now, referring to our remedies : If the health of any grown person is in question, and such symptoms are apparent as low spirits, restlessness, sour stomach, sick headache, a variable appetite, rising of food after eating, oppression of the stomach, low fever, languor, and irregularity of the bowels, rest assured it is a form of Dyspepsia - a complaint tending to break down the general stamina, and thus open the way for many serious physical evils. The remedy needed is Dr. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge, not as a Vermifuge, but as a general Tonic. Two teaspoonfuls of this medicine, mixed with four tablespoonfuls of water, taken after each meal, keeping the bowels gently open when necessary with Dr. Jayne's Sanative Pills, will soon overcome the worst symptoms and remove this distressing disease. If the health of your children is in question, and such symptoms are noticed as a variable appetite, with strange cravings, picking the nose, excessive thirst, low fever, bad breath, pale, sallow complexion, occasionally flushed cheeks, a wasting away, great nervousness, fitful sleep, grinding of the teeth, accompanied by weakness of the bowels - they indicate that the child is troubled with those dreadful pests, Worms, which worry its delicate system, and are producing such irritation and debility as will surely break down the constitution, and if the cause is not removed, may bring on St. Vitus' Dance or Convulsions, and render its after-life a burden. To save your child use Dr. Jayne's Tonic Vermifuge, according to the directions, and you will not only destroy the worms, but its tonic properties will rebuld the general health - no other worm medicine possessing such qualities. When woems are not indicated, and a gentle tonic is required, the vermifuge may be given with excellent results after each meal, in much smaller doses than for worms. For coughs, colds, throat and lung troubles, as everybody well knows, Dr. Jayne's Expectorant is the standard family remedy. Presented by W. H. Simcoe, North East, Cecil Co., Maryland.
