Pharmacy / Apothecary: Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin Token Coin

Description

The history of the Pepsin Syrup Company dates back to the 1880s when Dr. William B. Caldwell first began prescribing his senna and pepsin laxative.
In 1892 Dr. Caldwell’s former store clerk, Charles H. Ridgley, conceived the idea of manufacturing the doctor’s famous prescription. Dr. Caldwell gave Ridgely and his partner, John Bell, permission to go ahead and as a result "syrup pepsin" was made bottled and sold.
The token plus 10 cents could be redeemed for a special trial bottle.
Token is the size of a quarter.
