Ephemera Collection:
Medications and Old-time Remedies
Welcome to my medications collection page. Here you will find some very unique and interesting items, some dating back to as early as 1906. I find it fascinating to see some of the remedies that were common so long ago. Sorry, none of these items are available for sale.

Date unknown, but must be before the
1970's since chloroform was outlawed in over-the-counter medications at that
time.
I found this info in
a personal blog:
"The dime-size lozenges were neatly arranged in stacks of three. There were 90
lozenges in a box, as I recall. A new box was wrapped in plastic, and inside,
it had a little sheet of paper over the lozenges to keep them exactly in
place. As soon as the first lozenge was removed, the remaining lozenges could
slide around, and the perfect order inside the box was lost." This
person also said that the chloroform had a "zing" to it and that these discs
were quite effective for sore throats and coughs.
