Ladies Birthday Almanac, 1915
This almanac advertised two nostrums, Thedford's Black-Draught and Wine of Cardui, both marketed to women. The almanac promised relief from women's typical ailments: cramps or "women's pains," weak or painful back, indigestion, fatigue from hard work, insomnia, liver trouble, chills and fever, and general female physical weaknesses. The Ladies Birthday Almanac was published by the Chattanooga Medicine Company as early as 1891. The almanac contained weather information, important dates and, of course, ads for all of the company's products.
