Description: Mrs Winslow's Soothing Opium Teething Syrup 5" Antique Aqua Glass Bottle 1850-1880. Inscription: Mrs. Winslows Soothing Syrup - Successors - Curtis & Perkins - Proprietors - The Anglo American Drug Co Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was a patent medicine supposedly compounded by Mrs. Charlotte N. Winslow, and first marketed by her son-in-law Jeremiah Curtis and Benjamin A. Perkins of Bangor, Maine, United States in 1845. The formula consisted of morphine sulphate (65 mg per fluid ounce), sodium carbonate, spirits foeniculi, and aqua ammonia. It was claimed that it was "likely to sooth any human or animal", and it effectively quieted restless infants and small children, especially for teething. It was widely marketed in the United Kingdom and the United States. In 1911 the American Medical Association issued a publication titled "Nostrums And Quackery" in which, in a section called "Baby Killers", it incriminated Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. Nevertheless, the product was not withdrawn from sale until 1930.
