I recently found a aqua/light blue bottle filled with dirt. And after cleaning it up I took some pictures of it. The bottle reads, " H. Lake's Indian Specific". Now I'm assuming this is some sort of medicine bottle. But I've never heard of it and nor local antique stores near me. Any one have any clue on this bottle?

Welcome, I don't know much on the history other than is was right around 1850 and yes, a medicine. Nice bottle depending on condition.
Here's links to pictures cuz uploader said too big.

Beautiful find. Go back & kick some dirt. Then go back again with a shovel.

Nice find, very cool that is was on top of the ground undamaged.
Wow, that is a very nice bottle. And valuable as well. Where ever you found it, there is a good chance more bottles are waiting to be found in the same area. Did you find it at a construction site? Did you have to dig to find it?
Well I found it at a jobsite a few weeks ago buried in dirt under a house. I thought at first it was a broken bottle but when I pulled it out of the dirt it was just filled with dirt and no breaks in the bottle. If anything minor scratches.
