"All Going Out--Nothing Coming In. Cascarets Did It--They Work While You Sleep". Round mirror depicts angel on a pot: Who wouldn’t rather take their medicine candy-style? As it turns out, the relation between candy and medicine has quite a history. Believed to be the first medicine in the U.S. to be marketed nationally as a candy: Cascarets Candy Cathartic. Cascara, the ingredient suggested by “Cascarets,” is derived from the bitter tasting bark of a species of buckthorn tree native to North America. Cascara had been prescribed by druggists and physicians as a remedy for constipation and related ills as early as 1877. But it was not until 1894 that the Sterling Remedy Company came up with a candy version which would turn out to be a huge blockbuster. Very good condition, mirror slightly worn. 2" diameter.
