Antique Syrup of Black Draught Rectangle Glass Bottle Applied Top

Up for bid is an original antique pre-owned Syrup of Black Draught Rectangle Glass Bottle Applied Top. Found at an estate sale of a bottle collector. Measures about 5" by 1 3/4" by 7/8". In great condition with no chips, cracks or breaks. Has a light film inside bottle. The Black Draught was a senna based laxative originally developed in 1840 by Dr. A. Q. Simmons of Snow Hill, Georgia. The product was renamed Black Draught. Legend has it that in the early days of the British Navy it was customary for the sailors to be given a weekly infusion of senna along with their customary lot of rum. Since the mariner’s diet consisted of largely of salt pork, bully beef and hardtack, the custom was in the best interest of all onboard. As history bears out, Black Draught was a huge success. It was also used to treat dry mouth, headaches, common colds, liver problems, indigestion, bilious diseases, etc. P lease see pictures for more condition details or e-mail with any questions.

I try to describe everything to the best of my knowledge but very few things I sell are Brand New and it will be stated in the listing if they are new.
