"Lurking Inside is a Creepy Little Girl" ... Burdock Blood Bitters, about 1880

Advertising Card courtesy of Louis de Bough, Toronto.

-------------------------------

in 1873 Burdock Blood Bitters, loaded with as much as twenty percent alcohol, was advertised for sale by T. Milburn & Co., Toronto,

 

-- Dumpdiggers

-------------------------------

In the advertisement is a well-healed gentleman with the page ripping through his head and lurking inside is a creepy little girl. I'm not sure how the imagery translates into a remedy for constipation ....
