    Description

    Just for fun, fascinating look into the past history of the use of cannabis as a medication.
    This is a clear glass corked bottle, it is marked Wheaton USA.  The bottle is 7 1/2 " tall, with sloping shoulders and a rectangular base, which is 3" by 2".
    I have attached a copy of an original label to the bottle. I don't know the age of the label, I suspect it dates from before marijuana was made illegal in 1937. The Lloyd Brothers Pharmacy of Cincinnati, Ohio was in business from 1870 to 1938.
    The text is very interesting. Who knew that cannabis could treat so many medical problems? Mild forms of insanity in women, meningitis, and even painful urination!
    Front Label:  "Specific Medicines. Cannabis. Absolute Alcohol 74%, Lloyd Brothers, Cincinnati, O.
    Specific Indications:  Nervous depression, tendency to melancholia with wakefulness. Mental illusions or delusions and forgetfulness.
    Uses:  To relieve the above conditions, especially if there be pain in the stomach, or distress and discomfort in the pelvic organs especially; frequency of urination or tenesmus or cystitis.  Dose:  A teaspoonful of the dilution every two to four hours.
    POISONOUS IN OVERDOSE."
    Back Label"  "The range of action of this remedy, although classed as a mild one, is quite wide.  It especially controls gastric pain, and directly influences pain in the pelvis, especially if the specific indications herein given are present.  There are certain conditions of the brain and the nervous system which are directly affected by it.  It is useful in hysterical patients, and in the mild forms of insanity of women, especially if these be due to menstrual irregularities which are the cause of pain.
    It is useful in delirium, with restlessness, after protracted fevers, and in cerebrospinal meningitis.  In functional disorders of the stomach with pain, given in conjunction with directly indicated remedies, it is of much value. It does not suppress secretion or disarrange the functional operations of the gastrointestinal organs.  Certain erratic pains in the bowels are controlled by it. It allays abnormal sexual appetite; chordee, priapism and spermatorrhea, and soothes mental anxiety present with these conditions.  It eases strangury, spasmodic stricture, painful urination burning and scalding in passing urine and frequent urination.  It is a remedy for insomnia, especially where, during brief sleep there are unpleasant dreams.
    POISON.  Antidote; Emetic of mustard, followed by large draughts of warm water, then strong tea or coffee. Arouse the patient and keep him in motion."
