There may be a date code on the bottom of bottle, looks like a 1930-1940 bottle. William Warner was in business for years and some of his bottles are very collectable, and yes some sort of cure was in it-------------not to be confused with H.H.Warner

Here's a clue to the oldest possible date for the toothpaste tube:
"Colgate was the first toothpaste in a collapsible tube, introduced in 1896, when it had previously been sold in glass jars since 1873."

Your tube toothpaste says Australia and colgate palmolive-----Colgate opened in Australia in early 1920s, merged with Palmolive-Peet in 1928--This would be the oldest the tube could be---hope this helps---tom
