Trade card for Wheat Bitters Company; black and white lithograph of couple in rowboat, man rowing, woman with parasol, bottle of Wheat Bitters between them; printed at bottom "WHEAT BITTERS/ PREPARED BY/ WHEAT BITTERS COMPANY,/ NEW YORK./ THE GREAT BLOOD, BRAIN AND MUSCLE FOOD"; printed advertisement on back, beginning with "A GOOD DIGESTION MEANS VIGOR OF BODY AND MIND." [Wheat Bitters Co. office, 19 Park Place, New York.] Fred Calabretta notes: This couple is enjoying a pleasant outing in a rowboat, and have brought along a large bottle of Wheat Bitters. In such a relaxing setting, it seems unlikely they will need this remedy for indigestion.
