Snagged these bottles today, before 1900?

Hey staticx32 I found some info on The United States medicine company . Go to chronicling America, It has some interesting information. The company was started by a Clarence Bigalow and Dr. Charles W Dunlop. It states the company was in New Jersey on the stock exchange. I can't find anything else on Bigelow but Dr. Dunlop was declared insane six weeks before his death. His estate was left to his wife and 22 nieces and nephews. Like I said go to chronicling America and look up the state New York the dates between 1900 and 1922. Type in United States medicine. You will see these papers and dates in New York Tribune January 11, 1908 page 7, January 22, 1908 page 3, March 13, 1908 page 7 and January 16, 1910 page 13. Hope this helps you.

the shot stop was a bug killer, in the large bottles it reads shot stop for bugs. I believe this is the same company. there is also a couph med that reads this way also.
