Got this bottle in the box lot I bought. Found a matching ad from the 1880s. What really is funny is the claims made in the ad, especially, "The doctor has the gift to describe every pain and disease at first sight, and with his vegetable medicine and healing powers combined he is enabled to cure all kinds of diseases in a short time." LOL

Ironically quack medicines are still being sold today, of course as collectables. Lol!
