Rare Authentic Antique Medicine Bottle in Original Unopened Box - Dr. Taft's Cough Syrup - A Meritorious Cough Medicine -

For Display Only! *Keep away from Children! Decorative use only!

All bottles, labels and corks are authentic and original to each bottle.

This box with bottle inside has never been opened. Therefore, I don't know anything about the bottle or contents. I can feel that is full of a liquid.

Excellent antique condition, this box has dirt and bit of wear to the sides of the top and no other problems noted.

Syrup contains alcohol 10%, chloroform 2 4/7 minims. (A minim was a measurement used by apothecaries, equivalent to one drop of water)

On Quack Medicines:
" 1905-1922 - …Members of the House of Delegates of the American Medical Association, believe that every effort must be made to do away with the evils which result from the exploitation of the sick for the sake of gain. Earnestly believing that the continued toleration of secret, semi-secret, unscientific or untruthfully advertised proprietary medicines is an evil that is inimical to medical progress and to the best interest of the public, we declare ourselves in sympathy with, endorse and by our best efforts will further, the work which has been, and is being, done by the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association in the attempt to eliminate this evil. " 1922
