Step back into the elegant world of early 20th-century French pharmacy with this beautifully preserved Fructines-Vichy medicinal tin. Produced by the renowned Parisian laboratory A. Pointet, this charming tin once held “bonbons purgatifs” — laxative pastilles designed to ease digestive complaints in a stylishly discreet form.
-
The design is classic Belle Époque to early Art Deco, with striking red and cream lithography, ornate fonts, and detailed French text extolling the therapeutic virtues of the Vichy-inspired formula. The name "Vichy" refers to the famous French spa town known for its health-giving mineral waters, aligning the product with notions of natural wellness and refined living.

This compact tin would have been carried in a handbag or pocket, offering a fashionable yet functional remedy on the go. Today, it makes a wonderful collectible for lovers of vintage French packaging, medical ephemera, or early pharmaceutical history.
