Clements Certain Cure

[Tandy]

Dug this one today, no one seems to know anything about it. Has anyone any information on it? Sorry, no camera at present.

Looks very similar to this one...

Would think the Cure would be more valuable...

Also found these references to Clements bottles:
CLEMENTS TONIC/ Baldwin 1973:117; Fike 1987:233

THIS BOTTLE ALWAYS REMAINS/THE PROPERTY OF/CLEMENTS TONIC/LIMITED [Base:] G. B. W. L./ Fike 1987:233

Being as the last one has "Limited" in it's embossing, perhaps it is Canadian or Australian?
(still looking)....
Just found a New Zealand website listing a Clements medicine, but couldn't locate the bottle pic.

More info..
CLEMENTS TONIC, Amber (also light to medium yellowish green & medium olive green), rectangular with beveled corners, 8†and 6 3/4†sizes and other variations from other countries.

Also found a reference to a storekeeper in Australia selling Clements Tonic in the late 1800's.

[just noticed you're in Australia...any gifs here wearing a dunce hat?[8|]

I was lucky enough to have the camera for a couple of hours, so here is a better photograph of the bottle I found.

This is the actual amber Clements Certain Cure.

For more information and photographs of the dig, please see

Information starts with a Pratt Pot in the margin, the post shows a photo of me standing in the beginnings of a hole.

I'd presume it was from the same company as the Clements Tonic although the cure is one I've not seen before, nice find [] .

PS CLEMENTS TONIC for $50 on that bottletrader site [8D] , think I'll have to sell a few and put a % towards the site costs for Roger [] , they are pretty common here.
