Le Resyl, a product marketed by O. Rolland Laboratories in Lyon during the early 20th century, was advertised as a remedy for tuberculosis (TB) and other respiratory ailments. In the early 20th century, there were no antibiotics effective against TB, as streptomycin (the first effective antibiotic for TB) was only discovered in 1943. Remedies like Le Resyl were likely symptomatic treatments or general tonics rather than curative.
