You could never clean the tubes out properly = murder bottles.

 Fleece77,as hoarder said the tubes could not ne cleaned properly so contained bacteria plus baby's were swallowing the rubber tubes and teats,causing death by choking,,these enamels were removed from chemist shops by the Edwardians so are very scarce today,,It took me 20 years to find a good example.
