Second image depicts a girl with long light colored hair standing on a step in front of a wooden double dutch door which has the top half open.

Additional card text on right side of card: "August Flower" Since the introduction of Green's August Flower, in 1867, for the cure of Dyspepsia, Indigestion and Biliousness, with their discouraging effects, such as sour stomach, sick headache costiveness, palpitation of the heart, symptoms of paralysis, dizzy head, sleeplessness, &c., there has sprung into the market hundreds of remedies advertised for the same purposes ; but they all fail to meet that certain success and praise that every druggist and dealer in medicines over the entire civilized world, give to GREEN'S AUGUST FLOWER. Ask your Druggist about it. Three doses will relieve any of the above complaints. Every bottle sold has been a permanent advertisement, until over 2,000,000 Bottles were sold last year. Sample bottles, 10 cents. Positively sold by all dealers in medicines on the globe.
Additional card text on left side of card: Boschee's German Syrup has the largest sale of any medicine in the world, for the cure of Consumption, Bronchitis, Severe Colds settled in the chest, Pneumonia and all diseases of the Throat and Lungs. There is not probably, a druggist in the civilized world but will recommend it in preference to all others. Introduced in the U.S.A. in 1867, by distributing over 3,000,000 sample bottles free of charge. No medicine has ever met with such wonderful success and retained its popularity in every family where used, as BOSCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP. Sample bottles 10 cents. Regular size, 75 cents.
