The contents of your bottle was no doubt high in iron and was probably for people that were enemic. Your sample was probably a couple ounces or a few doses. I don't know if this product (see photo) was for the same thing but it sounds rather sick. I don't think that it was like bullion but more for babies or adults that couldn't chew to get their requirement of iron in their diet. Just my thoughts and not necessarily the way it really was.




Pre-digested beef, mmm mmmm.  I did a quick search on that and found that it contained 19.39 % alcohol (no shocker there), and your right, it was a product for infants.  I found this in  "Diseases of Infancy and Childhood, Their Dietetic, Hygienic, and Medical Treatment, dated 1907.  Here is the link  http://books.google.com/books?id=hBT5PCgOvKoC&pg=PA208&lpg=PA208&dq=%22Mulford's+Pre-Digested+Beef&source=web&ots=i1QNlrlNDi&sig=HkWmg6TbfDERcm9cMUKQt30SB9c&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#PPR1,M1

Here is a sample I dug up this weekend, (out of a box I had in storage). 
It is embossed:   COLDEN'S / LIQUID BEEF TONIC / PHYSICIANS SAMPLE
It is 4 7/8" tall, kind of large in my oppinion for a sample bottle.  I'm not sure what Liquid Beef Tonic was used for. 

I just found this on the Colden's Beef Tonic Sample.  It is from a book titled: Medical Record, A weekly Journal of Medicine and Surgery, July 4 to December 26, 1896

Here is another bottle that goes with your Mulford if your interested:  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150315541220&_trksid=e11010.m204&_trkparms=algo%3DSI%26its%3DI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D8&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1348 




I have a tiny H. K. Mulford bottle, less than 2" tall, that I dug in Fairfield, it is dark amber, almost black.  Probably a sample.

Status: offline 		Maybe we should start a new thread called "Beef Juices" as we have gotten away from the "Sample Bottle" theme. That being said, here is a bottle that I just found. It's got a crude screw cap threading which is indicative of the 1890s bottles and is triangular. It again has that "Beef" theme

Here is a tiny Mulford bottle.  Possibly a sample.  This was dug in a shallow trash pit about 3 feet deep in Fairfield, CAL.  It is only 2 1/4" tall and is almost black.

It's not a surprise anymore!!    Damn, I sure wish I found that beer you wanted.  The thing that irks me about that beer, is I "know" exactly where it was sitting but I never actually handled it for about a year.  Either someone "moved" it, "broke it" (god forbid), or the damn thing got up and walked away.  Don't wait on me anymore old timer.  If I find it I will get in touch with you but if someone else wants to trade for the bottles we talked about, might as well let 'em have them.  I may have something else to trade though.  Both of those you offered me.  I'd be interested in seeing the one you just mentioned if you don't mind posting it.
