Nice Canadian Cure

[atticmint]

I am sure there are alot of these larger Canadian cures around but its the first one I have seen, guess I have been spending to much time collecting bitters [8|] Anyway I won it on Ebay, the seller told me that the last one he saw auctioned went for $150.
I won this for $38 [] embossed on the front "VEGETABLE DISCOVERY" sides read "AND DYSPEPTIC CURE" and "NORTHROP & LYMANS"
