About this work

Description

One of a series of cards (sent in sets of 6 in exchange for coupons from jars of Liebig's 'Fleisch-Extract' or Extractum Carnis Liebig). This one describes medicine in Japan being a mixture of traditional and new, western methods, the doctor also traditionally being a pharmacist. It shows a doctor walking in a country lane in red and puple robes, with a sword, followed by his servant carrying a large box of materia medica. There is a woman to either side of them, one carrying a parasol. Liebig cards appeared in various languages. This also advertises Fleisch-Pepton (der Compagnie Liebig).
