Here a picture of a bottle that I found interesting.
It' s " Magic Raising Powders Hall & Mansfield, Nashua, N.H."

What' s interesting about this bottle is that it is ground top, like the older Mason jars.
I tend to think it may have been yeast, although it could be the older equivalent of Viagra.
Ha................. not!!!

That' s always a possibility.
Being ground lip, like alot of food product jars, I tend to believe it does have to do with cooking or baking.
Either yeast or baking powder is a good guess as to its contents.

The witch Mombi got the Powder from a Crooked Wizard. This batch of the powder was activated by the following incantation: Raise the left hand, little finger pointing upward, and say ""Weaugh!" Raise the right hand, thumb pointing upward, and say "Teaugh!" Raise both hands, with all the fingers and thumbs spread out, and say "Peaugh!" Mombi used this powder to bring Jack Pumpkinhead to life. Tip stole the Powder from her and later used it to animate the Sawhorse and the Gump.

Woody, my first thought was "SNUFF!"....I suppose you rather cut off your pinky toe with a rusty butter knife than part with that...right? LOL!

I went through one box of bottles and found a whole bunch of pharmacy bottles from NH that I've dug over the years, Oldtimer.
I'll have to start posting some pictures for you to drool over. LOL!!!
