A fairly common little bottle in itself, but not so much with a label which tells the rest of the story, as the label states \"ONE FLUID OUNCE OF THIS CONTAINS 48 % OF ALCOHOL, 19 MINIMS of CHLOROFORM 1.99 GRAINS OF OPIUM.\" The narcotic ingredient was helpful in soothing the discomfort associated with COLIC, CHOLERA, and DIARRHOEA, and quieting a baby down but the problem was that once the medicine was gone the baby started to get withdrawals from not having the opium, and so another bottle was needed. Then another, and another, and another, until the Pure Food and Drug Administration started cracking down on opiate laced medicines like this that were putting babies to sleep; permanently. These bottles come intwo sizes, this is the smaller of the two, check it out!
