Poison or Imposter - 1/9/2012 4:53:20 PM    Longhunter   Posts: 224 Joined: 2/16/2009 From: Meridian, Mississippi Status: offline I found one of these bottles at a flea market this weekend. It has the shape of a poison but is it really classified as a poison?

Status: offline supposedly it takes quite a lot of castor oil to seriously harm you (from what I read) so I'm going to have to stick with medicine. Still probably not a bottle you'd want to accidently grab off the nightstand thinking it was cough syrup. That would be a rude awakening _____________________________ My web site - http://www.AntiqueMedicines.com/ Medicine BLOG : http://antiquemedicines.com/blog/ Email me : mknapp@antiquemedicines.com (in reply to kungfufighter) Post #: 5

Status: offline With a name like LAXOL...I'm sure it's an early form of Dolcolax...or relative there of. Shape of the bottle is to warn of caution, though..  Too much may cause dehydration.  This would be in the same category as the KH-26 as it had a tonic laxative.  Has 6 sides to warn the user for the same reason. _____________________________ Poison Us Member: APBCA ( www.poisonbottleclub.org ) Visit Us @: www.poisonousaddiction.com Looking for digging partners in/near Savannah.

I'd call it a poison based on shape and color, but I wonder if there should be a separate category for bottles which did not actually contain poison, but it would put a slight crimp on your day if you mistook it for something else, and were designed with "warning signs" like odd shapes, ribs, etc..

I like this bottle because of the shape and color. I suppose I will display it with my poison bottles but with a caveat. _____________________________ ---Mike--- I have been bitten by the poison bottle bug..... no known cure.
