Margaret -

I have acquired an antique J&J product called Menthodona Plaster.
It comes in a silver metal tube with a painting of a man and woman dressed in colonial attire.

The product description document which was inside the tube describes the plaster product as curing everything from Rheumatism, Asthma, Pneumonia, Heart Disease, Cramps, Cholera and many other diseases.
There obviously was no FDA around in those days.

Do you have any record of this product and the years it was sold by J&J?
