Yor bottle held Peruna, a very popular patent "cure-all" medicine made by Samuel B. Hartman ( that's what the initials stand for) Of Columbus, Ohio. It started being made in 1879 and was made well into the 1920's. It was mostly made of aclohol and recieved very harsh criticism because of that. Yours is c. 1890. They were made in quite a number of variations. Here's a link:
