I dont know much in particular about it. There were a number of medicinal gins made in the 19th century. Calling it Juniper Berry Gin seems a bit redundant, isnt that the normal flavoring for gin? It's listed in my medicine guide and is a fairly rare bottle.
The referance you list is for an old bottle book by Richard Fike called "The Bottle Book"
