Life Syrup Bottle - Help Please

[BeachComber]

Hi All,I recently found this bottle while diving and was hoping that someone could provide me with any type of information on this bottle (company info, bottle variation, value, age, what is Life Syrup, etc etc). The bottle is quite tall and is embossed with "Reuters / Life Syrup / New York". I have place the bottle next to a standard ginger beer bottle for size comparison. Thanks for looking!

The base. Looks like a later version of the snap case mold (1870s). Not sure though. [attachment=20140803_174433.jpg]
