A small, round, lithographed tin box for BÉBIA ointment, intended for washing and caring for babies' skin, but also recommended for irritations, chafing, burns, chapped skin, and sunburn. The simple yet highly legible red and cream design highlights the medicinal uses and the phrase "Free Sample," characteristic of pharmaceutical practices during the Belle Époque. A representative piece from the small French pharmacy of the very early 20th century.
