Castor oil was used for a bunch of different things, I think its main use was as a laxative. Yours looks like it dates to the 1920s or so, and I like the graphics on that label!

Canadian Bottles is correct. Quite a ubiquitous medicine used for over 150 years.

Grand Haven was just a bike ride away from me. Castor oil bottles are pretty common, but G.H. druggists are not.
