Halloween card
Around 1900 Halloween was considered to be a good time for a girl to find out the identity of her future husband. I don't know any that require a pumpkin on the head, but a girl would peel an apple and throw the peel over their shoulder and it would supposedly form the first initial of her husband's name. There was also a legend about looking in a mirror at midnight where your husband would be reflected back to the woman.

Ripans (1900)
Ipecac is used to induce vomiting and nux vomica is another name for strychnine. I can't imagine how sick people got who used this product.

Frank C. Bostock's Milwaukee Zoo (1900)
This is not an ad for the early Milwaukee County Zoo but something different entirely. Frank C. Bostock owned several animal shows and had a permanent exhibit hall in Milwaukee.
