About this work

Description

This is possibly a magazine insert (printed separately then bound in with the magazine at the publisher's). It was issued about 1900 by the Hunt's Remedy Co. of Providence, Rhode Island. The front is a chromolitho print with decorative borders showing an elegant young woman with brown hair piled up on her head wearing a full length, low-cut pink evening dress with frills along the bottom. She is holding a large fan in her left hand with ABC printed over it and has a pug dog on a leash in her right with which she is also lifting the hem of her dress. An inset panel to the right has a flowering plant in a brown pot. The reverse has an illustration of a lifeboat and the caption: "Hunt's remedy, the life-saving medicine, never known to fail" in the sky and on a rock with information about it below. It was claimed that "Hunt's Remedy cures all diseases of the kidneys, bladder, urinary organs, dropsy, gravel, diabetes, incontinence and retention of urine, rheumatism and heart disease."
