...one pill makes you larger... - 9/1/2008 11:17:00 PM    GuntherHess Posts: 5111 Joined: 12/13/2004 From: Frederick Maryland Status: online Found this large Warners pharmacy bottle with some pills still in it. Anyone found one of these before? Has an interesting image on front, the Roman Goddess Hygeia holding a snake (goddess of health and hygene). Has a crude lip. Seems like maybe 1880s?
