Description
Front of card depicts three dogs in a basket which is sitting on top of a flowering plant.
Original trade card forms part of: Collection no. 311, History & Special Collections for the Sciences, Louise M. Darling Biomedical Library, UCLA.
Additional text on back of card: A. Danforth's Vegetable Pain Destroyer has been the recognized standard remedy for all affections of the bowels, as the many hundreds of thousands of persons - in all parts of the world - who have used it, will testify. With such a record, why should any one neglect to keep it at hand for ready use in sudden attacks of Cholera Morbus, Summer Complaint and Colic, and the debilitating ailments of Diarrhoea and Dysentary, to which all are liable during our hot seasons. It will afford quick relief, check the tendency to violent action, and soothe and calm the stomach and bowels. For Cramps it gives immediate relief, and for Asiatic Cholera it is a reliable stand-by - acting promptly, allaying irritation, and removing soreness in the parts affected. It is pleasant and equally effectual with young or old, according to the dose, and being pleasant to the taste, is easily administered to children...Additional text on front of card: Prepared by A. Danforth & Co., Rushville, Ohio.
