– – –
DISCUSSION:
An attractive Belgian trade card for Aliment Mellin, “pour enfants et malades”, featuring “lacto-glycose” and “litholydium zachariae” which (despite it’s official-sounding name) was but a patent remedy; but, wait monsieur, a patent remedy extraordinaire indeed, a “remede infallible”, good for curing gout, rheumatism, diseases of the kidneys, and other childhood ailments.
Card. 3”x4.25”. Minor soil.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS, PLEASE NOTE:
SHIPPING: To comply with Ebay’s policies, all packages are shipped using recorded/trackable methods and you should check the postage quotes before completing a purchase. Our International shipping charges are based on the weight, when packed, of each package -we offer “combined shipping charges” for orders for more than one item –this often means the shipping cost for the items is less than it would have been if they had been purchased and shipped one at a time, so please ask us for a shipping quote if you are thinking about buying more than one item. Thanks!
CUSTOMS CHARGES: Your post office may impose a customs charge on your incoming package, we have no control over this and no information about it, please check with your post office for more information. It is against U.S. law and Ebay rules for us to lie on the customs form about the value of packages, please do not ask us to do this.
