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.
