Second cards shows "Mrs. Amelia O'Keefe," rosy-cheeked, and attired in a neckerchief adorned with a pin, spectacles, and her white hair pinned under her ears. Promotional text below the image reads "Now over 98 years old, was nourished and sustained through a very critical illness by the use of Eskay's food.
