I am going to try doing an ongoing contest on my blog. If people can identify the medicine bottles I post they can win a small prize (and be imortalized for a while on the page). First one to ID wins. All are welcome.
I will try to add bottles each week or so and come up with prizes. Hopefully fun for readers and helpful to my book research.
Enjoy..

PS.. contest can be reached from the MYSTERY MEDICINE CONTEST tab on my main blog page at any time.

If it was easy I would have figured it out myself.

There is an 1840 ad in the Hartford, Conn Courant which may be relevant, but one must pay for actual access to the archived material, and the text associated with it is so garbled that the relevance is not very likely:

I have added another unknown medicine to the contest (so you have 2X the chance to win!). Figure out either one and claim the prize.

I added two more mystery medicines. More chances for somebody to be the first person to ID one.
Odds are someone in the hive mind will have the answer.
