      Yeah… I wonder if it might’ve said on the back of the bottle? I don’t see it on the front or the ad.

      The reason I wonder about the back is, this was 1920’s, and in the USA, the legal requirement to disclose the ingredients of medicines was passed in 1906 under Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy was all about pure food and drugs.

      Normally I think of the 1800’s or early 19-aughts as the era when ingredients were a total mystery.
