Thanks guys. And yeah tigue, we are wondering where the rocks came from! They aren't native rocks. These were shale and river rocks I believe, while sandstone is the normal local rock. They were definitely brought in from somewhere else. Why, who knows.
Way to rock the the year to a close. Thanks for the dig show. I love the rocking mould cut on "Dr. Sage's." Does it say, "Dr. Pierce, Prop'r"?
"Aqua bottle approximately 6 cm x 3 cm x 1.5 cm. Embossed on all sides: Front has "Catarrh Remedy"; sides have "Dr. Sage's" and "Buffalo;" back has "Dr. Pierce Prop'r." Bottle is corked and sealed and apparently contains the original contents.Dr. Pierce moved from Pennsylvania around 1867, and this was one of his original offerings. None of the other Pierce items is named for anyone other than Dr. Pierce. There is some question regarding the existence of a Dr. Sage in relation to this product.
Subject Pierce, R. V. (Ray Vaughn), 1840-1914; World's dispensary medical association" New York Heritage.
"Dr Sage's" was to be used with the ever popular Dr. Pierce's Fountain Nasal Injector...
"For the treatment of catarrh, Pierce recommended Dr Sage’s Catarrh Remedy in conjunction with the Nasal Injector. Strangely enough, the business address for Dr Sage’s remedy was exactly the same as that for Pierce’s other products – the World Medical Association in Buffalo, NY." The Quack Doctor.
