The Cascarets Candy Cathartic trade card
is shown above (the before image)
and below (the consequence)!
It is a Mechanical card, in that SAND
is the device which moves...
It fills the chamber pot that the child is sitting on.
It is also a Metamorphic, or Before and After, trade card.
The obverse shows the constipated child.
Flip it over and you can watch the SAND flow into the pot..
The Product (Cascarets) Worked!
------------------------
Because the action in this trade card so obviously
mimics the actions of having taken the candies...
I think it is safe to say ths is a Privately Issued trade card.
Cascarets most likely spent a hefty portion
of their allocated advertsing budget
to have this card made.
The card consists of TWO, heavy stock paper boards -
Where a liner with sand is held.
The paper stock is die-cut with an opening
to show the SAND.
ALL IT TOOK, WAS A LITTLE INGENUITY!
