“The comical cure-all,” 1885

A medical “joke” book, complete with illustrations!

Black and white drawing of a thin man with a cartoonishly long nose, holding up the first finger of his right hand to the tip of his nose and holding up the first two fingers of his left to the viewer. Caption reads: "In this disease, gentlemen, we make use of two remedies, and these -- have no effect."
