Lederle Bacillus Acidophilus Milk Bottle

I found this at the flea market today and thought it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It's about to celebrate its 94th birthday and only cost $1.

It is called Lactobacillus Acidophilus now. It is what is now called a probiotic. They really did not know about all that back then but knew it helped with diarrhea, especially in folks that are lactose intolerant.
