Description: CHAMBERLAIN'S MEDICINE CO.COLIC AND DIARRHOEA REMEDY ADVERTISING CARD5-1/4" W x 2-1/8" D Please read condition description above. The Chamberlain Medicine Company was established in 1873 by Brothers Davis and Lowell Chamberlain, along with their sister Izanna. The Des Moines, Iowa-based company eventually stretched to Australia, Canada and South Africa. Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy used alcohol, ether, and chloroform to soothe upset stomachs. The company also sold a cough remedy, liniment, pain relief balm and lotion. Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy was one of many thousands of patent medicines that made incredible, and often false claims about their effectiveness, and became tremendously profitable. Eventually government regulations were put in place to prevent medicine manufacturers from making unfounded claims about their products. The original bottle label also listed Opium as an ingredient. In December, 1905, a mother in Victoria gave three drops to her infant son, and he died. The label stated the dose for infants was one to 15 drops. In 1930 the company was sold.
