The item visible in the photo is an original, rectangular box, displaying on its front face the inscription \"FLUON\" in red letters on a white background, accompanied by the mention \"Circulation regulator based on plants and vitamin P\". The box has a pale yellow background, printed text in red and black, and a typography characteristic of the mid-20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side details the product's uses, such as poor circulation, heavy legs, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, chilblains, menopausal and puberty disorders, painful periods, and visible veins. The packaging perfectly illustrates the pharmaceutical trends of the era, highlighting natural benefits and vitamin P, a common argument in health communication at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe box, made of printed cardboard, shows visible signs of age: slightly crushed corners, signs of wear, and a uniform patina over the entire surface. The lid is deformed, but the printing remains legible and the colors relatively well preserved for its age. An \"M2-P\" marking is also visible on the upper part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe mention \"avec boîte d'origine\" (with original box) in the keywords implies that the bottle itself normally accompanies this packaging, although only the box is visible in the photo. No details of the contents or the bottle are observable in this image; the description therefore remains focused on the outer packaging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of object, highly representative of old remedies, is appealing for its retro design and the richness of its printed indications. It is an authentic piece for those interested in the history of pharmacopoeia or wishing to display a relic of bygone medical advertising.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item sold as is.

Many supplements of that era highlighted plants as a source of \"vitamin P,\" before the evolution of regulations on health claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFast shipping, careful packaging, and tracked delivery assured by a professional seller specializing in antique and vintage items.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKeywords: antique pharmacy box, vintage remedy, retro packaging, FLUON bottle, 1940s circulatory, plant remedy, old medicine box, pharmacie XXe siècle, vintage packaging, ancient natural remedy, vitamin P\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AFW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54255764177223,"sku":"cee4f258-e303-4996-b1ef-7db48bba94f3","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/5152\/8775\/files\/s-l1600_d258a2d1-4a57-43bb-8c18-0b7376c7f989.jpg?v=1782769690","url":"https:\/\/shop.antiquefranceworldwide.com\/en\/products\/bouteille-ancienne-fluon-regulateur-circulation-annees-40-avec-boite-vintage","provider":"AFW","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
