Very cool. I picked up one of the American examples not long ago as well.

That's it Harry, only Safe cure, I believe its called the Animal Cure by Warners collectors because of its very large size compared to a regular sized Warners bottle. There is a ounce size of these bottles which is almost twice as much as the reg Warners. I am not sure of what the ounces are for an Animal Cure. There is a Warners site that gives the sizes but I am not savvy enough to provide a link to it. But type warners blog into google and it comes up..........Andy

Plus there may have been an animal med in them, I have never seen a paper label for this bottle, but I bet someone has one, probably the writer of the warners blog, they were the people I bought mine from at the Expo..........Andy

They are Mike And Kathy Craig, who are descendants of the Dr Craig who was the maker of the Craigs Kidney & Liver cure bottles, forerunner of the Warners Co. The Craigs were bought out in the last century, by H. H. Warner of Warners safe cure fame. His safe cure was the same concoction that supposedly cured him from Dr. Craig. It is a fascinating history of what is the biggest of the quack medicine stories.............Andy

Nhpharm. Mine is embossed with Rochester, as I assume yours is also. I believe some of them are from London, Melbourne, and Ontario, I don't know if there are any from Pressburg or some of the more rarer cities.........Andy

If your Warner's bottle is of an unusual size, can't you give us some dimensions? If not volume, what is the height of your Safe Cure?

I have a few common Warner's Safe bottles, and I think the usual sizes are pint and half-pint.

Harry, my Animal Cure is 11 inches tall and 4 1/2 inches wide and about two and a half pints, judging from my pint size Rheumatic cure bottle

Andy,

Yours looks like it is embossed London in the photos? Mine is the 3-cities version, which I have been told is the American version.
