Good question, not too many people I have asked seem to know the answer. The complete name of that medicine is Dr. E. Cooper's Universal Magnetic Balm. Guess it wouldnt fit on the bottle or they were saving some bucks on embossing. _____________________________ FREE Online Medicine Guide - http://www.antiquemedicines.com/MedicineNexus/Nexus.htm Web Site - http://antiquemedicines.com Email : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to JOETHECROW) Post #: 8

RE: Good weekend/bad weekend.... - 9/8/2009 6:59:50 AM    annie44 Posts: 1636 Joined: 10/27/2005 Status: offline Joe and Lobey..... Chase is feeling your pain - and so am I. I spent all of last week carrying all 60 pounds of him in and out to the yard. My legs would be shaking and my heart pounding by the time I'd get him back in and my back and thighs feel the burn!! Thankfully, he's hopping around on 3 legs now so I can try to recuperate myself!! At least both of you got some nice new bottles!! I am looking forward to getting some early medicine vials I purchased on ebay from Doug (appliedlips) - unembossed but intact flared lips and pontiled!
