This is an interesting bottle I picked up today.
Mrs J H R Matteson Clairvoyant Remedies Buffalo NY.
Not only is it a patent medicine but its formula is based on the occult.
Mrs Matteson was an interesting charactor, big in the spiritualist movement of the 19th century. From the stories I read it sounds like she may have bumped off her husband.
Anyone seen one of these before?
Some info ...
