Scarce subject matter and great graphics in this 1884 dental trade card advertising Hood's Tooth Powder. The manufacturer, C. I. Hood of Lowell, Massachusetts, advertised that their product "whitens and beautifies the teeth, sweetens the breath and hardens the gums." Attractive "trompe l'oeil" (three-dimensional) effect of a smiling woman emerging from a page of advertising. Stamped on the reverse from a pharmacist on Limestone St. in Springfield, Ohio. Measuring approximately 3 x 4 inches, this is a desirable advertising or dentistry collectible in excellent condition, would look great in a dentist's office.
