Old Time Medicines
It's difficult to determine all of the medicines and remedies that are in this doctor's formulary, but clearly there's the following:
Band-Aids - Johnson & Johnson
Asprin - unknown maker
Tincture of Merthiolate, 1:2000 (an antiseptic) - Eli Lilly
Whitfield's Ointment (an anti-fungal) - Eli Lilly
Argyrol (an antiseptic, anti-infective & VD treatment) - Zonite Products Co.
Interesting tidbit about Argyrol... it was so popular, particularly during wartime - it was used to treat gonorrhea infections - that the creator and initial producer, Dr. Albert Barnes (A.C. Barnes Company) made a fortune. He used that fortune to purchase fine art and his extensive art collection is now on display in downtown Philadelphia at the Barnes Foundation Museum on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
Migratory Boys
It is a mystery how they always find the way back to pond in which they were born!
