Lydia Pinkham Trade Card

This pretty trade card advertised Lydia Estes Pinkham's (February 9, 1819 – May 17, 1883) famous women's tonic. Some thought it was quack medicine, but a few of the ingredients are still used today. It also contained a lot of alcohol, which probably helped more than anything!

The tonic contained Butterfly weed, Black Cohosh, Golden Ragwort (not ragweed), and Fenugreek - all of these have anti-inflammatory properties, and Black Cohosh is still used for menopausal issues.
I have 2 versions for you - with and without the ad!

Coffee Trade Card

Victorian Trade Card - Tonic

I feel like I need a tonic this morning. This one might do the trick, it cures malaria, intermittent fevers, strengthens the muscles, gets rid of lethargy (which is my problem today), and gives new life to the nerves. Lily Langtry endorses it so it must be good stuff! :-D
