This quack cure is mentioned in the AMA book on Nostrums and Quackery (ref 68, 69). The company was fined for untrue claims by the FDA. The bottle is 7“h x 2 3/8” sq. It has a very attractive label with an engraving, presumably of Dr. Shoop. A label around the neck of the bottle reads Catarrh. There is also a label written in German and the bottle is embossed on several sides.
