Dr. Lawrence's Iceland Moss Syrup?

[mctaggart67]

Can anyone out there please help with this mystery? I recently bought off Ebay a 4-oz. "Dr. Lawrence's Iceland Moss Syrup" bottle. I cannot find out anything about this one, either in my files on Canadian proprietary medicine makers or through interenet searches. The seller did not have anything either. I know it's a Canadian bottle (or at least Canadian-made) because it is basally marked with Toronto's Richards Glass Company's trademark for the style of bottle that the firm called the "Queen Oval." Richards Glass started business in 1912. Any further info is gratefully appreciated. Thanks, Glen

Thanks, Jim. The plot thickens! Now, believe it or not, the last time I did a google search for this bottle and linked to an ebay.co.uk search return for the bottle, I found myself looking at the very same listing for the very same bottle I bought. Strange!
