Gonna stick my neck out, Here is a top ten list of cure bottles, arguably some cures are seen as higher on the list by some cure collectors as others, but this is fairly accurate and has some pretty darn rare and valuable cures listed,.....#1 Cobalt, mushroom lipped, Sure Cure for Malaria, last sold for around ten thousand dollars.........#2 Cobalt Bennets Magic Cure, the word ( magic) makes the difference, from Colorado and very rare, mine has damage......#3 Tamalon Cattarrh Cure & Blood purifier .........#4 Dr. Shermans Rupture Cure in Cobalt blue only one known, no sales price, my example is amber.......#5 Two tied for this placement or higher. Cobalt, Open Pontiled, Wynkoops Tonic mixture, Warranted to cure fever and ague, New York. My preference is 4th place. also the Cobalt, extremely rare Strubles Kidney cure, the Doctor behind this cure killed a man and the story makes the bottle. #6 Dr. A. E. Geohegan's cure for Scrofula, iron pontiled aqua.......#7 Big and littles sizes of the River Swamp Chill & Fever cure, embossed alligator and swamp on front, 8 " being the rarest size in amber........#8 Dr. Kilmer's cough cure & consumption oil specific in aqua........# 9 Sparks Kidney & Liver cure, bust of man, Warners shaped bottle, in amber........# 10 Bakers Vegetable Blood & Liver cure, spencer med co or Lookout Mountain med co Tennesee. This is arbitrarily the proper order for these cures, debatable allways......Andy

Well, here was a "febro cure" from Egypt(?).

My parent accidentally threw it away a few years ago.

Could never find anything on it.

Just checked on google, febro is another term for fibromyalgia and there is an Egyptian co Amoun Pharmaceuticals. that has an article on this disease, so at least we know what febro is. The article also states that in Egypt more woman then men suffer from it.......Andy
