Both come in aqua and clear glass. Read's- one of the bigger Drug Co.'s in Balt. must  have brought them out in the early 1900's. Perhaps Herndon saw the writing on the wall after the Pure Food & Drug Act in 1906 and got out of the Patent Medicine business.  I've dug more of the Herndon's Cures than the Read's. I paid 20$ for a mint aqua Reads that was on Ebay about 5 years ago. I see the Herndons run around 85 -125$ on the Bay.   _____________________________ Theres only one way to find out (in reply to Trying not to break it) Post #: 3
