Vintage Vanderhoof’s Bed-Wetting Remedy Box – Windsor Ontario – 3.25 in.

An unusual piece of early Canadian pharmacy and patent-medicine packaging, this original Vanderhoof’s Bed-Wetting Remedy box was produced by Vanderhoof & Co. Limited of Windsor, Ontario.

The orange cardboard box is printed in both English and French and was originally sold as a 75-tablet remedy for enuresis. The label includes period dosage directions, ingredients and the original $1.05 price.

Now empty, it makes an interesting display piece for a collection of vintage pharmacy items, Canadian advertising, patent medicine packaging or medical ephemera.
