Medical humor drives this 1899 poster, which bills Howard's show as a sure cure for the blues, offered in three prescriptions and 180 pleasant doses. The bill invites readers to secure seats for the doctor's warm reception at the Opera House, with mock office hours from 8 to 10:30 p.m. Commercial lithographers such as the U.S. Printing Company of Cincinnati and New York, working with Russell-Morgan, produced posters like this in quantity for touring performers. The black-and-white type and playful wording show how showmen of the period pitched entertainment as a remedy for everyday worries.
