My collection also includes this fascinating collection of tiny Chinese medicine bottles. The labels are mostly intact and there’s still medicine in some.

One particular medicine is Po Chai Pills 保濟丸 — a traditional Chinese medicine product made from several herbs formed into tiny spherical pills about 4 mm in diameter. It is used as a remedy for the relief of indigestion, heartburn, vomiting, diarrhea, and bloating. It can also be used as a hangover prevention remedy.

And I can vouch for it’s use for hangovers after having used it myself while living in Singapore.
