A "VALENTINE'
What does this card advertise? From this card, for what would you guess mandrake pills could be helpful?
One of the (many) uses of the mandrake plant in folk medicine was as an aphrodisiac and to increase fertility. The trade card suggests this use through its strong resemblance to a valentine card.
