EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming trade card for Dr. Zed's Syrup, featuring a young girl in a pink dress lovingly embracing her faithful pug companion. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image captures the tender bond between a child and her pet, transporting us to a simpler era. The scene is set against the backdrop of Parisian streets, with the girl's elegant frilly dress and the pug's distinctive wrinkled features adding to the authenticity of the scene. Dr. Zed's Syrup was a popular remedy during this period, advertised as a solution for various respiratory issues such as bronchial catarrh and persistent coughs. The syrup was believed to contain codeine, a powerful painkiller and cough suppressant, which may have contributed to its widespread use. Despite the medical purpose of the trade card, the focus remains on the heartwarming image of the girl and her pug, evoking feelings of nostalgia and affection. The girl's youthful expression and the pug's alert gaze add to the liveliness of the image, making it a delightful addition to any vintage collection. This trade card is a testament to the enduring bond between humans and their pets, as well as the rich history of medical advertising in the early 20th century.
