Wow, that is the earliest labeled Moxie bottle I have seen yet. "Boston and New York"
Very cool.
I truly wonder how the actual recipe tasted back then, compared to today. A Nerve tonic in the past, a caffeine and sugar mixture today. One common ingredient is the gentian root, I'm told.
Thanks for sharing that. I bet some other Moxie-heads on here will like that too. Gotta be more than two of us. Happy belated birthday!

Wow, that bottle has the ingredients on it, many many years before it was mandated to do so on food products. I like the way they said '...and other natural flavors..'
I wonder if anyone has an unopened bottle from pre-1970's for analysis so that the ingredients and their ratios can be detected through liquid chromatography.
It would be cool to reproduce the drink that was more popular than Coca Cola back in the day.
Notice the label says ' The Healthful Way'. This bottle era must have been marketed soon after it was made public that addictive coca plant extracts were in the other brand's drinks.
