These old dental bottles contained nothing more than a liquid antiseptic tooth rinse, yet like this one, they claimed to cure any type of disease of the mouth, gums, teeth, throat, tighten loose teeth, things that they still can't cure today. The label that originally came on this bottle claimed that this mouth wash was a "Sure Cure for Sleeplessness caused by diseased gums" and that regular use of this mouth wash would even TIGHTENS LOOSE TEETH, can you believe that?
