DeWitt's Vaporizing Balm was a popular over-the-counter remedy marketed in the early to mid-20th century. These balms were commonly used to alleviate symptoms of colds, congestion, and minor aches. The product was sold in small, easily portable tins, making it a household staple.
Patent medicines like DeWitt's were widely advertised and distributed, often with claims that were not scientifically substantiated by today's standards. This tin represents a bygone era of healthcare and marketing.
