Rare pharmaceutical box containing "Bood & Stomach Pills"

A small, antique lithographed tin pharmaceutical box that once contained "Bood & Stomach Pills," an Anglo-Saxon medicinal product intended for digestive and blood disorders. The central design features an engraved portrait of a bearded man, typical of patented remedies from the late 19th century, often associated with an authority figure or founder. The inscription "coated pills" and the dosage information on the edge refer to an international folk pharmacopoeia, widely distributed at the time in English-speaking countries, combining marketing, striking imagery, and therapeutic promises.
