Subject: Bottlle and Contents Information


I have run across an interesting drug store bottle with contents I
cannot identify.  The bottle (from the Economical Drug Store in El Paso)
is labeled CIMICIFECA (U. S. ?.) [the label is torn slightly
obliterating the final letter in parentheses].  Partial contents (a
light powder) are intact.  Can anyone identify the drug?

The bottle is also embossed on the base with a manufacturer's mark I
cannot find.  It is H. W. & O. in an elongated hexagon.  Has anyone come
across this manufacturer?  I did not find it in Toulouse or any of the
usual sources.

Thanks in advance for your help.
