The extensive label text lists applications for everything from uterine hemorrhage, catarrh, and gleet to chronic diarrhea and night sweats.

The paper label is largely complete with typical age toning, minor edge chipping, splits along the side folds, and foxing appropriate for an authentic, untouched antique bottle of this vintage. Please review all high-resolution photos for exact condition details.
