What's In Your Bottle?
So you have been finding and collecting old bottles for some time now. Have you
been wondering what were once in those bottles?
Most of the bottles you find are medicines that are colorful and odd shaped. Have
thousands of bubbles with embossing on the front and sides. Those embossing give a clue to what was inside. How about
Merchant's Gargling Oil, Seven Sutherland Sister's
Hair Grower, Warner's Safe Kidney Cure....... With all the different medicines
made, makes you wonder how sick people really were back then.
After you read what these bottles contained, you will see how easily it was to
get addicted to the many of these medicines. Narcotics and alcohol are a few main ingredients of those that made
you feel good but, not and necessarily better. A great excuse to abuse drugs and alcohol, “......just taking my daily
does of medicines......”
So here, I will reveal the secret formulas, ingredients, how to make famous
patent medicines and what they were used for. Colorful pictures of bottles as well as advertising handouts and product
sheets. It is a 20 page .pdf file that can be downladed, see below.

PHARMACY BOTTLES OF BUFFALO, NEW YORK
Here's a book I published a number of years
ago, in a limited quantity. A great reference tool for bottle collectors especially if you collect medicines and pharmacy
bottles in particular.
It is loaded with information on all the pharmacists in Buffalo who produced medicines
in embossed and or labled bottles from the 1800's to 1915. Giving street locations, years at that location, bottle descriptions
with sizes as well as illustrations of each bottle. As well as a few new additions such as pictures of box cartons and advertising.
