    This is a bottle of whatever it says in the title. Once was enough to type that. Originally there were 1000 pills, looks like it is down to about 200. The key ingredient here is Calomel because it contains mercury. It first became used in medicines in 1600 and fell out of favor in the early 1900s because it would kill the patient. Took a while to figure that out I guess. The other 2 ingredients are still in use so no big.
    This was made by the Eli Lilly & Company and apparently they are still around, the company was started 150 years ago. Anyway that seems to place this at the late 1800s. Another $10 antique.
