Antique MORPHINE laced baby TEETHING SYRUP quack medicine bottle SIROP GAUVIN

Description: A 4 1/2 inch tall cylinder-shaped nice TURQUOISE AQUA MARINE colored antique MORPHINE LACED antique baby teething syrup bottle. Along with the leading pictures of this bottle are two pictures of the same type of bottle but with the FULL ORIGINAL LABEL on it. This labeled bottle is NOT included in this sale, but is used to show that this bottle originally contained a patent medicine with MORPHINE in it, which was used as a pain killer for teething babies. Again, the labeled bottle is NOT part of this sale. This is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE hand Blown Into Mold bottle (BIM) with a tooled top, dating back to the 1800's. Bottle embossed: "SIROP DES ENFANTS / DU DR CODERRE". Condition: Bottle is in good condition. It does have content stain, age wear, and patina but NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc. PLEASE see pictures for overall idea of bottle's appearance/condition. Age: An ORIGINAL ANTIQUE hand blown bottle (Blown-In-Mold = BIM) with a tooled-top, ca. late 1800's. Shipping: FREE DOMESTIC shipping. We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders UNLESS BUYER SPECIFICALLY REQUESTS THIS AND WE ARE ABLE to provide an insurance estimate. It is becoming increasingly difficult to insure international orders and the price can exceed the price of the item, which can negate the sale. If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.As the labeled bottle in the picture shows, this was a patent (quack) medicine bottle that held a morphine laced baby teething syrup. No wonder the babies quit crying! Not only did the morphine dull the pain but a little baby also became addicted to the drug. It was quack medicine products like this that prompted the formation of the Pure Food & Drug Administration, a Government Administration that started to crack down on quack medicine ventures. Once the morphine was taken out of the teething syrup all that was left was a sweet syrup with a watered down alcohol base that didn't do anything for pain, and that was the end of the Pain Killer Teething Syrup, and once that failed, all that is left is a handful of these old bottles to testify to the fact that the that the product ever existed, check it out!
