He had at least 7 medicines: 1) Herb Bitters - very common 2) regular Cough Syrup - very common 3) Magic Oil - common 4) Worm Syrup - very rare 5) Sarsaparilla and Blood Purifier - very rare as listed in Sarsaparilla book 6) Indian Vegetable Cough Syrup and Blood Purifier - scarce.

Yours is missing the u in syrup. On mine the embossing doesn't quiet go that far down the bottle. (in reply to Tony14) Post #: 6
