I happen to have a bottle that I inherited from a family member that has Knoxit on it, but I'm not sure if it's the specified product above. The bottle is about 5 1/4 x 1 1/4 x 1 3/4. It has 'KNOXIT' in raised letters vertically downed the front and is empty with no lid or cork.

I acquired a full bottle of KNOXIT Globules with the little black globules still inside. I am trying to find out what they were a remedy for.

Earlier examples of Knoxit indicate that the product was a remedy for Gonorrhoea and Gleet (urethral discharge). The globules were for internal use. There was also a Knoxit Liquid that could be applied externally.
