I'm quite sure that everyone has seen these straight sided bottles and hutchinsons before and wondered what that word on the bottom "The Liquid" meant. I've even seen Starr X bottle openers that said "The Liquid". Most are expensive for some reason. Well I came across a SS version that still had the paper label on it so now I finally know what this is. The paper label reads:
The Best Liquid
is an unexcelled preparation for beautifying, restoring, and preserving the complexion and skin.
It removes sunburn, freckles, pimples, tan & c. & c.
It is recomended and used by the best ladies of our country.
Then it states the directions.
Beware of imitations. As there is none as good or better.
Prepared only by L.M. Wardner, M.D. Druggist Spring St., ST. Regis Falls, NY
Price 50 cents.
On the bottom within a diamond THE LIQUID
So there you have it, it wasn't a soda, it was a makeup. I just thought those who ran across these bottles before might be interested to know what they were.
