LIP: LTC BIMAL. The cough syrup was 60 cents per bottle, and reportedly made from spruce and pine tops. It was manufactured from about 1885 through 1912.

Variant: Same as above except 8 3/4" and clear. Ka-ton-ka was the best selling product of the Oregon Indian Medicine Company. It was the first medicine manufactured by the company and originally put up in powdered form; compounded of Prickly Ash, Oregon Grape, Mountain Sage, and other herbs and barks gathered by the Warme Springs Indians in Oregon. The name Ka-ton-ka was trademarked by the Oregon Indian Medicine Company in December of 1886, together with a cut of Donald McKay. A note mentioned that the word Ka-ton-ka had been used since 1876.

OREGON INDIAN MEDICINE COMPANY-MODOC EMBOSSING: MODOC OIL//PRICE 25 CTS. [on sides] HEIGHT: 4 1/2" COLOR: Clear SHAPE: Rect. LIP: SB BIMAL. Originally the Modoc Oil was to be used both internally and externally, but in the later years of business it was advertised as being for external use only. The oil was a remedy for pain, snake bite, inflammation or swelling and gangrene. The earliest variant, the round aqua bottle, sold for 50 cents. The smaller size was rectangular. Perhaps the Indian Oil was a good seller because of its low price. It is believed that the Modoc Oil was one of the first products manufactured by the company, and was only offered in the large size for the first few years. The Oil was still being sold after 1912. (see MODOC OIL). OREGON INDIAN MEDICINE COMPANY OREGON INDIAN MEDICINE COMPANY-DONALD McKAY'S GREAT INDIAN WORM ERADICATOR Were put up in boxes containing wafers.
