Description: Dated 1895: "Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption... "Jaquenetta: Good Costard, go with me." / "Love's Labor Lost." Shakespeare's famous theater comedy stage play: (image of court jester / joker costume) "H.E. Bucklen & Co's. Juvenile Shakespearean Series 1, No. 6." Antique Quack Remedy Cure Drugstore Doctor Patent MedicineBusiness Advertising CardNOTE - Deadly Opium Contents of "Dr. King's New Discovery" medicine: (from Dr. Jack Fincham) This product contained a toxic combination of chloroform and morphine and pine tar. The product was promoted as a cure for consumption (tuberculosis) and for coughs and colds. - Samuel Hopkins Adams who detailed the abuses of the US patent medicine business wrote: “It is proclaimed to be the "only sure cure for consumption." Further announcement is made that "it strikes terror to the doctors." As it is a morphin (sp.) and chloroform mixture, "Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption" is well calculated to strike terror to the doctors... or to any other class of profession, except, perhaps, the undertakers. It is a pretty diabolical concoction to give to anyone, and particularly to a consumptive. The chloroform temporarily allays the cough, thereby checking Nature's effort to throw off the dead matter from the lungs. The opium drugs the patient into a deceived cheerfulness. The makers of the beneficent preparation are H. E. Bucklen & Co., of Chicago.” Reprinted from Collier’s Weekly, JAN. 13, 1906. ====================================================================================== * MORE GREAT pre-1900 Bottle /Cure / Entertainment / Literary = use "Search within my store" or Visit my store: Click this Hot Link: Old Cards - Daves Great Cards Galore ====================================================================================== ====================================================================================== Condition: - - Assume every card has evidence of aging, flaws and wear.
