An original advertising double-sided paper card; image on front is a woman in a c. 1890s lace-trimmed pink dress holding a young child in white dress on her shoulder while standing in a field; image on back is of product in bottle.
Printed at bottom of front, below image of woman: "SUNNY HOURS"; printed on back: "FOR SCROFULA and all // scrofulous, mercurial, and blood // disorders . . . // The active medi- // cinal principles of these roots, extracted by a pro- // cess peculiarly our own, are chemically united // in AYER'S SARSAPARILLA with the Iodide of // Potassium and Iron, forming by far the most // economical and reliable blood-purifying medicine // that can be used. // If there is a lurking taint of Scrofula about you, // AYER'S SARSAPARILLA will dislodge it, and ex- // pel it from your system. // For the cure of the disor- // ders, lassitude and debility peculiar to the Spring, // it has proved to be the best remedy ever devised. // If your blood is vitiated, cleanse it without delay // by the use of AYER'S SARSAPARILLA."
