Please see the box of ad below the boy. The ad reads:

FERRO CHINA
- GARRON -
Societa Farmaceutica Romana
di EVARISTO GARRONI

My qeustion is this.

What medicine or product does it advertise? Is the product related to 'iron' (FERRO)?

Hi Jin,

the Ferro-China is an alchoolic drink based on iron citrate.
It was created in the last years of 1800's as a medicine as tonic, digestive and restore: people used it believing to increase their mnemonic capabilities.
Really, it's only a drink.

However, very nice item
