Antique Emerald Green Glass Empty Indica Tintcure Medicine Bottle Piso's Cure For Sale

Striking antique green glass bottle embossed THE PISO COMPANY.

This is a genuine antique Piso Company patent-medicine bottle, associated with Piso's Consumption Cure, a famous proprietary medicine marketed in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The bottle has the distinctive rectangular body, recessed panel and narrow neck characteristic of historic Piso Company bottles. A comparable green The Piso Company bottle is preserved in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, documenting this distinctive bottle form and color.

Piso's Consumption Cure was marketed during the era of American patent medicines, when proprietary remedies were sold with extraordinary claims for serious illnesses.

Historical documentation of the period records cannabis indica as an ingredient of Piso's Consumption Cure. A 1906 U.S. government report specifically lists Piso's Consumption Cure under preparations containing cannabis indica, and period pharmaceutical literature gives formulations containing fluid extract of cannabis indica.

That makes this bottle an especially fascinating piece for collectors interested in:

Patent medicine • pharmacy history • early pharmaceuticals • cannabis history • antique bottles • American advertising • apothecary collectibles
