Abstract:
Advertisement for 'Tabloid' first aid medicines and kits. Card features a color illustration of a female knight and Death. A grey Grim Reaper floats behind the knight, made from the smoke of pollution from the city at the bottom. Death has a skeleton face and hands, holding a scythe that says "Infection". The female knight holds a sword in her right hand and a large white shield in her left, with the title in red on it. There is a large red T on the shield with a white unicorn in it, and a yellow ribbon that says "Protection" in front of the shield. The woman has on silver armor, a maroon cloak, and a gold helmet with a gold mail coif. On the back of the card are black and white photo reproductions of two tubes of ointment and two small metal boxes of medicine. On the inside of the card are black and white photo reproductions of two first aid kits and them in use. On the left is a home kit with a woman using ointment on a young girl's knee. On the right is a factory kit with a man using bandages on a worker's arm.
