We like old things--especially old medicine packaging. You can't get the full effect of this one without reading the box:

Heaven's sakes. Like anything produced in the early 1900s could make Malaria pleasant. *blink* I'm glad Malaria isn't a common epidemic in America anymore. It is one scary disease.
HEY Mangy, I am finally on board again blogging...I opened up a new one...check it out when you can. I'd love some help with the layout if you ever have a minute...if you're swamped, no biggie. :-) Hope your writing is going well! keep me posted. :-) *elizabeth
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm going to check it out now. :oD Thanks for stopping by! Email me some pictures if you'd like me to make you a banner or something for the header. I'd be glad to do so when I have a moment.
ReplyDeleteThe baby on the bottle doesn't seem to think it's tasteless. =P Or maybe it's just evil. Anyway, it's scary looking.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I know! That weird baby illustration is the thing that caught our eye when we saw this in the antique store. I hope the baby who was use for reference wasn't that ugly in person. lol
ReplyDeleteThe baby is scary looking, Legossi? I agree. :P
ReplyDelete:O You went somewhere, mangy? Yay! :D Glad you could find something awesomeful to photograph.
Hi! I just wanted to let you know that I've followed Rain over here and I'm really enjoying your pictures!

WERT--Actually, I didn't go anywhere that day. I had to photograph something in my house. Hee hee...
ReplyDeleteCHEESENTOAST!--So glad you came over! Thank you! And I'm very much enjoying your pictures on your LJ too. :oD
You know, back then most of those medications were effective because they had cocaine or heroin in them!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Legossi, the baby does look quite scary 0_o
ReplyDeleteYes, Rain! I agree! But it isn't listed on the ingredients. Would it be?
ReplyDeleteDoes yours have the bottle and inserts inside? I also have this up in my kitchen. There is an insert about Malaria with a giant mosquito! Very cool. This is only the second one I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteOh, how fun! Yes, ours has the bottle inside, but no inserts. Still, very cool!
