Object Details

Description: Greenish glass bottle with embossed inscriptions that read "SCHENCK'S / PULMONIC / SYRUP / PHILADA." The A.M.A. reported in 1913 that Schenck’s syrup was “essentially a wintergreen-flavored mixture of saccharin syrups.” In 1914, an attorney for the Southern District of New York, seized and condemned several cases of Schenck’s pulmonic syrup, claiming they were misbranded in violation of the federal Pure Food and Drug Act.; Ref: Full page ad for J. H. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup in New York Times (Nov. 18, 1865), p. 3.
