Hypodermic tablets for intramuscular, IV and subcutaneous injection have not been used regularly for fifty years.Lingham's Cholera Mixture bottle measures 5 1/2 inches tall with a diameter of 1 7/8 inches. It's a three part mold with bubbles and clear seams, marked on the base with W T Co and a 'C'. The 'C' designates the bottle type and the other initials stand for Whitall Tatum Company, a very large pharmacy goods supplier.The hypodermic tablet bottle markings on the base are of unknown significance except for the 2 oz mark. It is nearly 4 inches tall.It's interesting that the contents of each bottle are given as apothecary system strengths given in GRAINS. A 1/4 GRAIN equals about 15 mg.
