    Shipping
    :
    FREE
    domestic shipping.   We do ship International but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate.  If an international 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 important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates.  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 your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time.
    Not a commonly seen antique bottle, and with great sounding embossing on it; "
    CHILDREN CRY FOR MORE
    ", suggesting it had to of been laced with a narcotic such as opium or morphine?   WHEN was the last time children cried for more of
    any
    kind of medicine, let alone worm syrup?!   But narcotic withdrawals would cause this condition.  It is also embossed "
    1 BOTTLE KILLED 100 WORMS
    ",  well a narcotic ingredient would of done that too, or maybe it even had a mildly toxic substance in it, enough to kill 100 worms!   Just about as great of sounding patent medicine bottle as we've ever seen, several years ago we even sold one of these bottles to the World Health Organization (WHO) as it even got their attention,
    check it out!
