domestic shipping,
includes
insurance.   We do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate.  If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates.  We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.
These little oval shaped hand blown pill bottles are always popular among  collectors. They were made in this shape so they could easily fit into a pocket or purse but as time when on, they were eventually replaced with tin containers.  This is the RAREST and EARLIEST version of this bottle, in the
TURQUOISE Aqua Marine COLOR
, and reads
CURES
LIVER ILLS
, whereas you can see the Pure Food and Drug Administration was keeping an eye on this product, because the next style of bottle, no longer makes the fraudulent 'CURE' claim, but merely states
FOR
LIVER ILLS
not
CURES
LIVER ILLS
.   A super nice example to find of this much sought after little bottle, in the
TURQUOISE
Aqua Marine COLOR
