An attractive apothecary label for GARRIGUE’S VEGETABLE WORM CONFECTIONS, sold by E. B. Garrigue, Philadelphia. Nicely printed on colorful green stock so typical of the period, this 7 ¾” X 5 3/8’ uncut label extols the wondrous virtues of Mr. Garrigue’s little vegetable pills in ridding one of stomach worms. A common affliction of the Civil War era and an especially frequent malady of the southern camp where warm weather and flies took their toll from Yankee soldiers who’s systems or habits were not accustom to sustained heat and close living. All original and in fine condition, this is a nice original item for the Civil War, medical, sutler or country store collector. please note: ALL ITEMS ARE CURRENT & AVAILABLE UNLESS MARKED SOLD!!.
