Description:
Advertisment card for “Ayer’s Pills.” A color picture on the front depicts a soldier on a white horse slaying his adversary with a sword in his right hand (although he has a rifle on his hip), while valiantly holding high the red, white, and blue “Ayer’s Pills” flag in his left. Two fallen warriors lie on the ground. The gold helmet and body army, and spear, scattered about are reminiscent of medievil knights. They contrast the revolutionary uniforms of the soldiers. The flag looks french, but the pole sports a golden eagle. Below is written, “The Fight for the Standard.” On the back is a description of the pills and a list of the various illnesses they cure.
