[QUOTE="yourturntoloveit, post: 231164, member: 57"](Honest, folks, I was thinking and then typing while the rest of you were answering.) ;) See the word "catarrh" on the side of container. [SIZE=5][B] Definition of [I]catarrh[/I] [/B][/SIZE] [LIST=1] [*]: inflammation of a mucous membrane; [I]especially[/I] : one chronically affecting the human nose and air passages [/LIST] From the [U]Merriam-Webster Dictionary[/U] on-line. Sooooo, I am guessing that it held a (patent?) medicine for "catarrah"[B] or[/B] once the tube has been emptied you could put any "solution/home remedy" in the container for one's own use. I notice that it has two caps for the tube (one cap with a hole in it for dispensing medicine and one solid cap to seal the container).[/QUOTE]
