Object of the Day: Dr. Jayne's Tonics

Click on image to let the worms scare you.

Well, well. It’s Monday, and it’s time to learn some more about Victorian illnesses and worms in children. What does your typical Nineteenth Century mom do to ease the coughs and wriggling parasites that her children bring home from school? It seems she smears some Dr. Jayne’s liniment all over their creamy skin, and, then—well, she pries open their cold, blue lips and forces some of the same stuff down their gurgling, little throats.

But, just to make this seem a little nicer, let’s look at a pretty picture. The young lady in the chromolithograph on the front has scared herself. Poor lass. She’s reading a ghost story and, now, she just can’t sleep. Far scarier, I think, is the discussion of rattling lungs, mucous and worms that follows on the reverse. For your ease of reading, I’ve taken upon myself the painstaking ordeal of typing it all out for you.



The Ghost Story!

The moral of this, the Sixteenth Card of our Series, is that, if
young ladies would avoid creating
a scene, similar to the one the artist,
Mr. R.W. Buss, gives us in this ad-
mirable picture, they had better forego reading ghost stories
at bed-time.

     As the rough, wintry seasons of the year approaches, do not
forget that a Cold, once contracted, demands prompt treatment,
lest the accompanying Cough should inflame and rack the lungs,
and induce the formation of tubercles. By the use of DR. JAYNE’S
EXPECTORANT, in small doses—repeating same according to the
urgency of the systems,--your Cold will speedily yield, and your
Lungs escape a dangerous ordeal. If you should be seized with a
Sore Throat, Bronchitis, or any Bronchial Disorder,
the EXPECTORANT will subdue the inflammation of the parts,
detach the mucous matter which clogs them, and gradually pro-
mote a cure. In case of Asthma, the EXPECTORANT overcomes
the cause of the trouble, and a prompt restoration follows. If
attacked by Pleurisy, or any Acute Inflammation of the
Lungs or throat, take the EXPECTORANT according to the directions,--
bathing the parts thoroughly with Dr. Jayne’s liniment,-- and
covering up warmly in bed. The EXPECTORANT, if taken in quite
small doses by Consumptives, will ameliorate the systems,
and especially ease the Cough as well as the oppression and sore-
ness of the Lung and Throat. It is a helpful remedy also in cases
of Croup and Whooping-Cough, checking the violence of
the attacks, and relieving the attending distress.

A Trusty Family Tonic 

is at the service of those
possessing a bottle of
DR. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE. For the Dyspepsia of
Adults, Indigestion, Sour Stomach, Oppression at the pit of the
Stomach, and Low Spirits, it is an excellent remedy,--the bowels in
such cases being kept open when necessary, by DR. JAYNE’S SANA-
TIVE PILLS. Worms in Children it destroys with certainty,
removing them and the distressing symptoms to which they give
rise. As a Strengthening Tonic for feeble, sickly children, it
renews the appetite and rebuilds the general health, and it has a
curative effect in the Fever and Ague of the young.
