We DO ship Internationally but we do NOT insure International orders unless buyer specifically requests this and we are able to provide an insurance estimate. If an international shipping charge is much more than the actual shipping cost, we will refund the excess so what YOU pay for shipping/insurance is very close to, if not exactly, the ACTUAL shipping costs! This is important for foreign buyers to know as most of our foreign shipping charges are estimates. We do not falsify information on the Customs Form, such as a price other than what the actual purchase price is, so please do not request us to do so. We ship several times a week and your prompt payment will hasten the turn-around time. There's been a lot of controversy about the SWAMP ROOT medicine that originally came in this bottle. Most look at it as a total quack medicine bottle that was just a sham on the American public. But some old timer's will tell you that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root for the Kidneys, the old recipe from before it was modified to pass FDA laws, actually cured/dissolved kidney stones and that the reason the Pure Food and Drug Act got it outlawed was that the medical profession made too much money treating kidney ailments and did not want any 'quack' medicine to interfere. They did not want one man to prosper from having a cure. Anyway ... what a great bottle, the ultimate, patent medicine bottle. "The GREAT Dr. KILMER ... SWAMP ROOT" embossing. And then too, see the sunken panel that holds the embossing? It is shaped in the exact shape of a KIDNEY, the part of the body that this concoction was able to remedy. This also puts this bottle into the category of collecting "picture" embossed bottles, a category of bottle collecting in itself. The light TURQUOISE AQUA MARINE color and the impressive LARGE size (OVER 8 inches tall), ORIGINAL FULL PAPER LABEL and in this AMAZING PRISTINE SPARKLING CLEAN condition make this one of the FINEST POSSIBLE EXAMPLES in EXISTENCE!
