Gold ring looks like it has hallmarks. You should be able to track down it's origins.

Love the stamp about the palour/pink pills. LOL

Containing a combination of iron oxide and epsom salts, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were touted to Civil War veterans with digestive problems, malaria, wounds, and emotional disturbances. Later advertisements claimed that the pink pills were a remedy for many female ailments and could restore the blood and nerves. In 1899, the pills were said to be a restorative for locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effects of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female, and all diseases resulting from the vitiated humors in the blood.

Some "patent" medicines were simply a combination of flavoring, coloring and aromatics. Others contained dangerous opiates or alcohol and could be lethal if the dosage was too high; children were particularly susceptible. During the Progressive Era (1900-1920), some Americans grew increasingly wary of medicines that contained addictive drugs and alcohol. As a result, legislation to protect the consumer was greatly expanded in the 20th century. This included the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 that required more accurate and honest labeling of medicines. Despite the law, proprietors did not have to prove their medicine was effective.

Hope that helps
