EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage trade card from the early 1900s is a fascinating glimpse into the history of medical advertising. The advert for Flu Nips features a catchy slogan, "nip the flu before the flu nips you," urging consumers to take preventative measures against influenza. In an era when medical knowledge and treatments were still developing, products like flu nips were marketed as essential tools in maintaining good health.
The design of the trade card is typical of its time, with bold typography and colorful illustrations meant to catch the eye of potential customers. The image on this particular print shows a cheerful family enjoying life without fear of illness, thanks to their trusty supply of flu nips. It's a charming reminder of how far we've come in terms of medical advancements and public health awareness.
While we may chuckle at some of the claims made by historical advertisements like this one, it's important to remember that they reflect genuine efforts to improve people's well-being. And who knows – maybe there was something special about those old-fashioned flu nips that actually did help ward off sickness! This print from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a piece of ephemera; it's a window into our shared past and a testament to human ingenuity in the face of adversity.
