a few of the favs

I am not really a med guy, but of course there is always some that catch my eye, and the local stuff is always a must have! So, i snapped a few pictures of some of the favorites, at least i tried...

here is one i have trouble getting the embossing to stand out, its some what faint. It is a "Tong cough remedy", and it's full of little pot stones and flecks of matter. A tooled top, that really shows!

This one is as local as it gets to me, the only bottle i have seen embossed Rio Vista, Cal, besides later milks. Notice the spelling of chemist,"Chymist",

Now, i love anything from S.F. and I love bottles with the street address embossed. Here's a new one to the collection, Burnett and Co. apothecary, Fire of life!

I have a Fire of Life around here somewhere in a SF patent medicine box, but something looks different about the embossing on yours.
Is the other side-panel embossed Dr. Rowell's? Hmm, went and checked my lists: mine is embossed "G.G. Burnett/Apothecary/" on
the first two lines. Two variants have been established[] -- can anyone add a third? [8D][:-] Sorry can't get to a camera or the bottle to add a picture.

Mine does say Dr. Rowell's, on the reverse side,side. Is yours older, Jason?
