- Shipping: All DOMESTIC shipping charges INCLUDE insurance. We have enjoyed shipping our items all over the world and are happy to offer most of our items to international buyers. Yet insuring International parcels is very expensive so PLEASE NOTE; we do NOT insure International orders unless winning buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance quote. 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 send payment acknowledgments and shipping confirmations. Your prompt payment will assure a very quick turn-around time. IMPORTANT NOTE: If our 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 especially important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are only estimates.
A beautiful and pristine COBALT BLUE colored bottle in the GIGANTIC Half Gallon SIZE. Back in the day, even Milk of Magnesia was a patent remedy, something that cured internal disorders of the digestive track. As time went on and the Pure Food and Drug Admin. got more 'teeth' in it, so to speak, this product went from being a remedy that cured everything to a medicine that relieved and was 'used for' everything. This bulk size was probably for a hospital or sick-house as it doesn't seem likely that a single person could of swallowed this much of the concoction. But we're glad they offered it in the half gallon size as this makes for just a TOTALLY BEAUTIFUL window bottle! When held up to the light it just comes to life as it has some nice waves, swirls, and whittle marks in the glass. Another nice thing about this bottle is that the base of this bottle has a large embossed letter "M" in a circle, the mark of the MARYLAND GLASS WORKS, the company that the founder of the Bromo Seltzer company started, the Emerson Drug Co. A RARE bottle to find in this GIGANTIC size, and nothing short of SPECTACULAR when viewed in a window with the light streaming through it, check it out!
