Historical NotesManufactured by Harry I. Neaman, The Homewood Pharmacal Company.Label TextTodd’s Tonic was produced by Homewood Pharmacal Company, which operated from 1925-1931. Its contents include California wine and useful medicinal ingredients. As this was during prohibition, Todd’s Tonic, at 20% alcohol content, may have been a sly way to produce and market an alcoholic beverage.
