If it is not listed on this site that means we have already sold it.

FYI:

TR. CAPSICI: Tincture of Capsicum. Capsicum Tincture is a natural extract of the fruit of Capsicum Frutescens. Capsicum (Cayenne) has been used as a remedy for rheumatic pains and arthritis. It has also been used topically on the scalp to help improve hair growth and has a stimulating sensation on the skin.

Herman William Fay and Richard J. Schueler were partners in the F&S Co that manufactured druggist glassware, labels, porcelain drawer pulls, etc.
