A Good Old-Fashioned Cure: A Humorous 20th Century Comic Postcard This delightful comic postcard, hailing from the 20th century, showcases a man in a state of blissful relaxation in his cozy bedroom. Dressed in striped pyjamas and clutching a pipe, he lies in bed with a mischievous grin, reaching for a peculiar drinking vessel. Instead of a traditional glass or bottle, this man has found an unconventional solution to quench his thirst - a beer barrel! The humorous verse printed on the postcard reads: "When I'm feeling under the weather, And my body's in need of a cure, I reach for my barrel of beer, And my thirst is no longer a fear. So here's to the man in his bed, With his pipe in his mouth and his barrel of red, May his nights be merry and bright, And his thirsts be quenched, day and night!" This charming postcard, reminiscent of the British humor of the 20th century, brings a smile to our faces with its playful take on the concept of a 'medicinal' cure. The man's relaxed expression and the cheerful atmosphere of the scene add to the overall fun and lightheartedness of the image. The postcard is a wonderful reminder of the simpler joys in life and the power of a good laugh. Whether it was originally sent as a gift or kept as a personal memento, this comic postcard is sure to bring a smile to anyone who comes across it.
