| Hexagonal Aqua PEPTO-MANGAN (GUDE) Bottle. |
Embossed PEPTO-MANGAN (GUDE), CONTENTS 11 FLUID OUNCES.
This is an attractive hexagonal aqua bottle.
Pepto-Mangan was manufactured in Liebzig by Dr. A Gude & Company and as early as 1892, Max J Breitenbach, a pharmacist by trade, served as Gude’s sole agent in both the United States and Canada.
It appears that the bottle was mostly covered, perhaps five of six sides, by a paper label containing a lot of text.
The company did a huge amount of advertising. Below are just a couple ads.
It was advertised for enriching the blood as well as a number of other benefits that were not supported by the medical community, It is therefore often referred to as a quack medicine.
