| Additional Information | American Pepsin Gum Company provided a give-away button that was part of a collectible set. Many gum manufactures in the late 1800s used pepsin powder in their chewing gum and marketed it as a way to aid indigestion. Pepsin was thought to settle stomach issues and help people with digestive concerns. Pink Carnations are sometimes believed to be a symbol of a woman/mother's pure love. |
