He was a Comedic Psychologist who traveled around enlightening people back in the 50's and '60s. Now I'm sure most med collectors have an example of these (or know about them) as they were popular back in the day, from what I gather.

I have several of the bottles, just a label, the pills are about the size of a BB. I'll see if I can get a pic of one of their ads later. Here it is mid 1880's.

Status: offline 		Anyone a collector around Selma, Alabama? I got information from antiquemedicines.com that this was probably a local drug bottle. I was handed down a bunch of bottles from Selma and this was one of them. No city on bottle so i took a stab, and i'll be there is a Carter  Drug Company in Selma. I called two antique stores and they knew nothing about bottles, but said the drug store had been there for well over a hundred years. I then called the store, but they changed ownership and want me to send them an e-mail with a picture of the bottle. The person i talked to had not heard of the slogan. Maybe on to something, maybe not. Regardless, thanks to antiquemedicines.com!

Positive, it's not Blue Star. I agree with the others the Carter's Little Liver pills have nothing to do with your bottle, is it ABM or Blown?

Status: offline 		Hold the phone on the "over hundred year old" drug store. Saw on a site called Manta that the company was formed in 1937. 2009-1937 is... not over a hundred. Sorry cc6pack, still trying to learn. Does the fact that there are measurements on the bottle lend any credence to age? Seam does not go through top. My uneducated guess is abm because it is so uniform. Told you i was still learning!

Status: offline 		It looks like the style used in the first decade of the 20th century. A late tooled lip in the Paris pharmacy form.
It was typical for pharmacies to use use slogans. They also started putting phone numbers on the ones in bigger cities. Assuming its hand blown, it is likely to be earlier than 1937.
