Background on Opiates: 
While experimenting with Opium in the 16th Century, Paracelsus coined the term
Laudanum from the Latin word "laudare" meaning to praise
and from the word "labdanum", meaning a plant extract.
Laudanum was widely used from the 16th Century to the 19th Century by both
Adults and Children and was found in many Patent Medicines. 
It was commonly used for colds, meningitis, yellow fever, pain, sleep, irritation,
check secretions, and to produce the general feeling of "well being." 
It was frequently sold "over the counter" and in "medicine shows" 
and it was commonly found in the medicine chests of many "proper" Victorian families.
 
Laudanum was later branded as Paregoric, Opium, Camphorated Tincture of Opium, Brown Mixture, etc.
     One fluid ounce of American Laudanum was made with one tenth ounce of powdered
Opium and equal parts of Alcohol and Water. 
One fluid ounce of English Laudanum had 10 grains less of Opium.
 
A quick background on how Alcohol, Drugs & Narcotics became illegal,
Prohibition, Opium, Cocaine, Marijuana, and the laws that apply to them and other drugs, 
can be found on programs such as the History & Discovery Channels Special Series: "HOOKED"
And specific programs such as "HOOKED - Cocaine - & The Third Scourge".
 
The scans show the group picture - plus some enlarged / close-up views.
We mounted the labels shown in the scans so you could see the details clearly.
The labels you receive will not be mounted.
Overall, they are in  Excellent Unused Condition.
