The label on this Toiletine Company bottle claims that wintergreen extract “is a reliable recognized remedy for the treatment of rheumatism and for heart & kidney troubles.” First established in Hoosick Falls, New York, the company manufactured a medicated lotion named “Toiletine” and in 1895, moved to Montague, Massachusetts, where it began manufacturing shampoos, lotions, and flavoring extracts including vanilla, lemon, wintergreen, and cinnamon. In 1910, the company was purchased by William Ulrich who moved it to Greenfield, Massachusetts. The company disappeared in the early 1970s, probably due to the owner’s failure to advertise in an attempt to keep the company small.
