My very first antique bottle - I have all of two, in addition to a modern collection - was a corkless and empty Hicks Cappudine bottle I purchased for all of $10 (the going rate, I believe). I was fascinated by its claim to cure everything from headaches to grippe. Does anyone know what the original contents were? I'm betting a large dose of alcohol, like most if not all patent medicines of a century ago, but so far have found no information.
Thanks!
