I wa wondering if anyone has any info on a product called Juvito. It's an herb tablet. It's in a wooden pill bottle. I was wondering age and value. I have attached a photo. Any info would be great. I have not been able to find anything. Thank you. Doug Matthews

No idea here , fresh .
Perhaps you might post more info from the printing on the items' container ; I can't make out all of the info from your image (every little bit helps) .
Considering that the container is wooden , perhaps it was being billed as an earlier-day 'viagra-esque' supplement (as many hokey products once were) ?

Only thing I have found so far are ads in the Jewish Criterion and a couple in a foreign language I did not recognize !! Similar to Arabic but not it !! One did say "Herbal Viagra" but may have been another ad !!
-
I would bet the container is not wood but papier mache` with sawdust compressed !! Back does not help much but thanks for additional pic !!

I have found some reference to Bielek Mfg. Co, Pittsburg from items being sold stated as dating from 1910 and 1926. There is also record of a trademark dispute dated 1929

Very little info on the company that I can find......someone with more research skills or reference material at hand would likely find more.

Thanks for the help. :)

The product was not made by Bielek !! Several other companies also sold it !! I think it must have been a product that was shopped out for a percentage of the profits !! Saw reference to two other companies that were not medically related but had this in an ad !!

Please let us know what the writing on the back says as requested earlier!

He did a second thread KC with a pic of the back but all it had were instructions and damage to the container so it didn`t help !!

Thanks Mart!
