Dalby's Carminative

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dalby's Carminative was a medicinal formula originated by James Dalby of London, England in the late 1770s. The formula claimed to aid “infants afflicted with wind, watery gripes, fluxes and other disorders of the stomach and bowels”. The ingredients included opium. The product was in the United States by 1804, and was still being sold after the turn of the century.
