We're experiencing some technical problems in the library today. 

If you’re visiting us, you won’t be able to print or use our PCs or laptops. If you want to sign-up for a free library membership, we’ll give you a temporary card for today and complete your membership next time you visit.

You can access items from the collection as usual and our team is on hand to help. Thank you for your patience while we resolve these issues. 

We're running paid user research studies to improve Wellcome Collection online

<p>One of a series of chromolithograph trade cards issued to advertise Dr. Grosvenor's Liveraid, which was supposed to "cure any case of constipation, biliousness, headache, liver complaint, dyspepsia, indigestion, malaria, rheumatism or any other diseases springing from a deranged liver or stomach" and Bellanodyne pain relieving plasters. The illustration shows three chicks (2 yellow, 1 brown) with trees and a sunny sky behind them and a spray of barley, forget-me-nots and a pink rose tucked through a card advertising the product.
