Trade card for Dr. Schenck's medicines
for tubercles [tuberculosis?!],
blood circulation, diseases of the stomach,
liver and bowels, etc. (about 1890).
Nelli Bly, who worked her own wonders, is on
the other side
Note the damage at the corners
caused when someone removed it from
the album it was pasted in. The
collector preferred seeing colorful
Ms. Bly -
in more than one way - on the other
side over the drab Dr. Schenck.
Collecting these often colorful and
sometimes funny cards was common in
the nineteenth century.
