Box of "Mucinum Tablets", Constipation

An antique pharmaceutical box containing "Mucinum Tablets," a product marketed as a rational treatment for constipation, with laxative and detoxifying effects. The bold yellow design, enhanced with black and red lettering, is typical of French medical advertising from the interwar period. The lid bears the Innothera brand name, from the Chantereau laboratory, a pharmacist in Arcueil-Paris, with the precise address on Avenue Paul Doumer, a reliable dating element. The back of the box details complete instructions for adults and children, characteristic of pharmaceutical products sold in pharmacies before modern regulations.
