Status: offline 		you're going to have to narrow that down there CD. A brief glance which is all my brain allows these days showed me nothing of Dr. daniels Colic Cure. Maybe i missed it please excuse my lazyness. I have no doubt horses get colic. I'm just saying that's an awfully small bottle to cure anythng a horse might have.

Status: offline 		What I've gleaned from this thread and the net so far:
Dr. Daniels specialized in vet meds.
Horses get colic (whatever the blazes that is)
Your bottle is a sample size.
Dr. Daniels was often accused of quackery.
Put them all together.. and I am still wondering what's up with yer bot!!

Status: offline 		I don't think that the colic bottle is a sample. There's an awful lot of them out there, and I have never seen a larger size.

Colic is persistant crying / fussing. It prolly held some form of opium, like so many other "remedies".

Status: offline 		from what I understand (i refuse to google it) colic is some sort of stomach upset, intestinal. My sweetheart was blessed with the ability to sleep through a nuclear holocaust from the day we brought her home. One, 2AM feeding and she was good to go. She's more a pian in the buttocks now. But I digress....Given the small size of the bottle and the teaspoon or so of medicine it contained and the rather large size of a horses stomach, one would think seeing he made medicines for both man and beast this one may have been marketed towards hue-mans

There were many people medicines to treat colic.
I dont know for sure if the Daniels colic cure (#1 or #2) was for people or animals thats why I would like to see a labelled one. I doubt it is a sample but I cant say that for sure either.

Here is a copycat product. Note they are vet medicines. I think this would indicate the #1 and #2 Daniels bottles are for animals. My guess would be cats , dogs , or smaller farm animals..

The Daniels Colic Cure bottle is definitely a sample. It doesn't take much to get them to poop and keep in mind how small of a dose it takes for a human to start paintin the walls.

I have always put the horse in a trailer and drive down a dirt road. It leaves a gigantic mess in the trailer but it is most effective.

Status: offline 		     In regards to the Daniel's I don't doubt it could have also been used for use in humans but it was put up for horses.They may have bottled them seperately but in the same size bottles.That size is NOT a sample size but would have been sold as a pair.

   As far as size and how it relates to a horse that doesn't make alot of sense.How big is a pill?A comparison would be all of the 4" tall,cylinder pontilled liniments being sold in the 1840's-50's,ie Mexican Mustang Liniment & the likes.Alot of them were for horses and I am certain of that.

Status: offline 		What do you think was the significance of the #1 and #2 are?  You see that on several old bottles like liniments.

Mexican Mustang Liniment and many similar medicines were of the "Man or Beast" types. Medicines were typically sold in multiple sizes, ie 25cent 50cent $1.00, the larger sizes mostly being sold just for economy sake. A few of the very large sizes were specificaly for animals, such as the large Ponds Vet Extract bottle.
You can see on this trade card that it is recommended for family or livestock.

Did you end up selling that at the Auburn show? I remember you saying you were going to take it with you. I looked for it but didn't see it. This was the sample snowflake whiskey, right? If it sold, what did it fetch?

Good point! MOst of the liniments were made for man or beast, so maybe the colic was to. It was after all only alcohol and morphine, or some such ****e. This one's for horses, cows and christians,but not necessarily in that order of course

I had it with me at Auburn, but never took it out of the box, except to show some interested collectors. A collector with more money than good sense offered me 4 Grand for my Snowflake fifth. Of course, I turned him down, even though that's about a Thousand more than they are bringing.
