- The front of this cards depicts a mother elephant (Jumbo) feeding a baby elephant (Castoria) and the statement 'all mothers know what's good for baby'. The two are set on a grassy landscape with what looks like a circus tent in the bottom right corner.

(Outside sources states that The Centaur Company of New York manufactured Centaur Liniment and Fletcher's Castoria).
