DIME-LAX

Laymon's Chocolate Flavor Dime-Lax 

Each tablet contained 1.5 grains Yellow Phenolphthalein, a suspected carcinogen, which was withdrawn from the U.S. market about 1997. This tin would have been made quite a bit earlier, probably from the 1930s to 1960s. The chocolate flavor was probably to cover a really bad taste.

Made for and packed by World's Products Co. of Spencer, Indiana. I suspect "Laymon's" is a play on the word "layman".
