<p>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.</p>
