Trade Card: A. Weil, Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, Amador, California

This trade card, advertising Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, features a charming illustration on the front depicting a young woman standing in front of a well, with a young man looking over a wall. The style and attire of the figures suggest a late 19th-century setting. The image is likely intended to evoke a sense of health and well-being, associating the product with a natural, idyllic scene. The back of the card displays a full advertisement for Dr. Jayne's Tonic, another product from the same company. This suggests the cards were likely distributed as part of a broader marketing campaign, and the combination of illustrations and detailed textual advertising highlights the multifaceted nature of 19th-century product promotion.
