Dr? E.K. Thompson? - 3/5/2010 10:18:06 PM    JOETHECROW Posts: 9281 Joined: 9/3/2005 From: Northwestern Pa. (Near scenic Lake Perfidy) Status: offline This began as a couple of pics to fill in blanks over at Gunth's Medicine Nexus.....Then I started to realize that the two bottles I was photographing were the only one's I'd ever seen. The sweet- wormpowder I dug in 1977....The large med was found on a more recent dig (three years ago) that Penn Digger Tom and I were on behind a recently renovated apt. building with a conspiciously crude stone foundation...JUST under the surface, about 6 inches, in loose ash were these bottles....My keeper being "E.K. Thompson, Titusville Pa"..I'd love to know more about his products,....what came in this large med,....and what years he was in business....Anybody?....Both meds are vr. crude but not pontiled....The pics don't really do the big one justice....Thanks, Joe P.S. Matt, I posted these over at your forum too.     J.B.

(Near scenic Lake Perfidy) Status: offline Medicinal Herbs are good!       Hey Rick,...Just maybe we have another smaller lot to dig downtown....Gotta check with Tom.....I CANNOT wait to get digging,... Would really like to get another roadtrip/dig in with you this summer, and vice/versa if you can come back here sometime!..Thanks for the reply and the information. Joe P.S. Holy Cripes! They were in business for 145 years!,...A shame they closed up,....still, that's quite a run for any business.   I went and looked up "Barosma" it's the herb 'Buchu',...I had a bottle that contained that term in some form,....I think It was "Buchu and Iron" gave it to Penn Digger, maybe he'll refresh my memory. < Message edited by JOETHECROW -- 3/6/2010 12:13:14 AM > _____________________________ Joe ``````````````````````````````````` In the woods we return to reason and faith. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooTyuRd9zSg&feature=related (in reply to Digswithstick) Post #: 10
