Abstract:
Comic postcard of a series, "Need a doctor? Try Dan Cupid, M.D." An illustration depicts a woman wearing a long dress sitting on couch and a money bag next to her. A man sits on the floor on his knees and has his hand out to her. A hanging sign on a wall behind them reads "I'm so lonesome." In the right bottom corner is a bottle with the label "Soothing Syrup." A cupid wearing a tailcoat and a top hat with a black carrycase prescribes a solution. The carrycase has written on it "D. Cupid M.D." There is also a speech bubble coming out of his mouth which says "I would advise soothing syrup in your case, kid. No charge."
