Flipping through an information leaflet for Dr Williams pink pills for pale people reveals yet another attempt at combating lumbago's torment.

A vibrant lithograph urges sufferers to use mirrors as tools against lumbago - perhaps reflecting upon oneself helps identify potential causes or find solace amidst chronic discomforts?
