gargling oil - 9/3/2008 12:53:27 PM    buzzkutt033   Posts: 437 Joined: 12/17/2007 From: East Penn Township Pennsylvania Status: offline picked up an example of this one for my collection. i liked it because it had a bit different color than most of the lockport stuff. has a kind of  " fold " in the back of the bottle, like some kind of error in the process. take care all.

Merchant’s Gargling Oil was a "liniment for man or beast." It was manufactured from 1833 to the early 20th century. It was primarily used as a topical ointment to treat horses and other animals for burns, scalds, sprains, and bruises. Gargling Oil could also treat a variety of strange ailments, including foundered feet, horn distemper, sitfast, ringbone, swelled legs, poll evil, foot rot in sheep, garget in cows, roup in poultry, and mange.
