Notes

Front of card reads: "Mother Swan's Worm Syrup. For feverishness, restlessness, worms, constipation. Tasteless. Perfectly harmless, but the most effective worm destroyer extant. If worms are not expelled by it you may depend they do not exist. Never does harm. Always does good. A good cathartic. It is sweet and nice..."
