French medicine bottle.

[Sir.Bottles]

Thank you for looking![]
This is one of my unique medicine (or perhaps chemical) bottle collections
The bottle stands 5 5/16 inch tall & 1 15/16 inch diameter there is embossed “125†& “D†at the lower of the bottles body. The clear glass is mint (attic mint), the label is nearly mint (just some small torn in the very edge). The label says “TEINTURE DE MUGUET†what does this mean? Is there somebody speak French around here? Please help.[]

Tinture of Lily of the Valley.

Oil of the flower, Lily of the Valley.

 

[VA is for Diggers]

It's also a tradition in France to give the muguet flower on May 1st to your significant other; then they all go on strike! lol

It is made from the Muguet Flower which is one of 30 different plants in the Arnica family each being used in different herbal remedies and medicines. It was used for hypertension and fatigue when taken internally and for any type of inflammation when used in a topical cream. Another type of flower in the same family, Arnica Montana, is used for any kind of swelling. Arnica is highly toxic and will drop you like a brick if used internally if not properly diluted.

Sounds like some good stuff. My great aunt used to rub it on my bee stings and mosquito bites.
