Lakin's

[JHarmon712]

Hi folks, I am not a bottle collector. I did find a neat little bottle outside my church while doing yard work today. I have no idea of the age of it. It is small and has one word on each side:
Boston
Lakin's
Hedake
Kolone

Can anyone give me any information?

Here is a picture with a penny to help show the size.

At first i thought it was Larkin's bottle. Couldnt find anything on Lakin's though. Im guessing it was some kind of headache medicine judging by the "hedake" but thats just a guess.

Since it says headake colone I'd say some kind of smelling salts. Alot of that kind of medicine was just cocane or powdered opium.

I don't have a listing for it in any of my referances.

I know this is a message from 2006 but just joined and wanted to add info. There is a record of Lakins hedake kolone in "The Pharmacutical Era" Vol. 31 with a ppublish date of 1904.Would seem it was some sort of smelling salts,as the others mentioned.
