Gravel & stone : Mr. A. Sparrow, "I suffered from stone in the bladder. I tried DeWitt's Pills & passed a stone within 48 hours"... : insist on DeWitt's Kidney & Bladder Pills.

Display card issued by E.C. DeWitt & Co. advertising DeWitt's Kidney & Bladder Pills about 1920, possibly slightly earlier. The firm was founded in 1912, by E C De Witt, with branches at 160-162 Superior Street, Chicago and in New York. They became part of the CB Fleet Group in 1990, their UK operation being currently based in Runcorn, Cheshire where they still manufacture toiletries, skin care products and pharmaceutical products today. Some of their other popular medicines manufactured at the time were DeWitt's Cough Syrup Bottle, DeWitt's Headache Tablets, DeWitt's Kidney & Bladder Pills, DeWitt's Rheumatic Pills and Dewitt's Man-Zan for haemorrhoids. The card would most likely have hung in a shop window, on a wall or been placed with a display of the product. It is printed in black and pale blue on white card showing a rather pained looking Mr. A. Sparrow (of Tonypandy, Wales) who had been suffering from bladder calculi (or stones) but claimed to have passed one a mere 2 days after taking DeWitt's pills.
