Colourful and wonderful Victorian scene that shows lady presenting bottle to a seated lady. Background shows people playing tennis on a lawn court. Front reads "Dr. Kilmer's Female Remedy".
"Specially adapted to female constitutions," this was the first product made by Dr. Kilmer & Co., an enterprise founded in the 1870s by a successful medical practioner from Binghamton, New York. Its label proclaims the medicine as "The Great Blood Purifier and System Regulator. The Only Herbal Alterative and Deuprative Ever Discovered."
Kilmer's company was one of the first firms to advertise nationally, and examples of its 18 herbal remedies, including the popular "Swamp Root and Kidney Cure," could be found in homes across the country. Due to their questionable ingredients and extravagant therapeutic claims, proprietary medicines such as Dr. Kilmer's became targeted by the National Food and Drug Act of 1906.
NOTE: I don't know if these guys are one in the same, but-the Kilmer brothers, Andral and Jonas, who moved to Binghamton, New York, in 1879 and were soon selling Swamp Root kidney and liver medicine and other "family remedies" from a palatial eight-story building in New York, NY. USA
