Summary
| Description | Top of a patent medicine tin. The medicine was Captain John Orderleys and was produced by the Owl Drug Company in San Francisco. At one time, the company had branches throughout the US, but was found primarily on the West Coast. The tin has owl faces around its rim. This version of the medicine was prior to the US Food and Drug Act of 1906; a toxic substance is listed as one of its ingredients. The post-1906 version is without the toxic substance, has different wording re: what the medicine was to be used for and notes that this formulation was post-Food and Drug Act in 1906. |
| Date | before 1906-as described above, this version contains a toxic substance which was removed after the 1906 Food and Drug Act. |
