I do believe I've found my lobster woman (scroll down or click here) or her identical twin sister. It looks like advertising for a patent medicine called Rex's Kidney & Liver Bitters, an alcohol-based remedy with doubtless hints of laudanum/cocaine/morphine, etc, sold at the turn of the last century. Still don't know what that has to do with a lobster in her bed, but she was probably too stoned to notice.
