DR Brown Mineral Water??

[Ye Olde Prospector]

Trying to find some info on this bottle. It is a heavy glass, greenish teal, deep iron pontil on the base. It is embossed "DR. BROWN. N" on front and a larger "B" on the back. I have looked thru all the bottle books I have with no luck. I am guessing it was a mineral water but possibly soda or beer. Any info as to where it was made, what it contained or value would be great.

Heres a view of the iron pontil.
