E.C. Dewitt & Co. - One Minute Cough Cure

Found at the bottom of a shallow, 4 foot privy. We only found two bottles in this one. This bottle is pre-1906, as they passed the Pure Food and Drug Act in 1906 which banned the use of the word "Cure." Companies then starting using the word "Remedy."

Not a terribly exciting find, but probably my most notable in the last 6 months (been a very slow year for me haha). Sorry for the crummy pics, I lost my camera.

After Friday, Sunday's finds were a bonanza! I lined my bottle up with some clears and now it looks aqua. Until then, I had to use my imagination!
