<p>Small, folded novelty item on thin card. It is diecut into the shape of a nurse's head and shoulders (front and back views). "Two essentials" is in white letters, reversed out of the black of her dress. When opened it is a hand (wearing 2 bracelets and a frilly sleeved red dress) holding a cup of Bovril, with the legend, "Bovril, prescribed by leading physicians everywhere".  Probably issued about 1900.</p>
