Hey Melissa,
The show is next Saturday, the 21st. Susan and I will be at the Best Western the night before, if you guys want to get together. We might even come earlier in the day Friday, and try to get a privy dig in.

GREAT FINDS!

Looks like a great TOC dump just below the surface. Those Bromo's are too cool. I've got a run of them I've been collecting but have never come across that particular one. Gotta love the iron cross embossed into the name! Bet those are a lot better than your average blue bromo.

Unfortunately, Micah and I both work next fri, sat and sun. One of these time we will try and get some time off so we can attend a bottle show!! Hope you have an awesome time!!

We dug a few of those Paris injection brou bottles under an old drug store a couple years back. Neat bottle, but fairly common. It was a VD med as I remember, yes that VD.

PD

Yup, definitely a VD treatment. Dunno if it was for syphilis or the clap (or both) but judging from the finds I'd bet the person who dumped that stuff was a rather licentious and unhealthy dude, probably a heavy drinker too (those sedative bromides were good at relieving hangovers and withdrawal symptoms). Those kinds of people left the best bottles to be found. Should be some more interesting meds and maybe some whiskey/bitters bottles in there.

Nice discovery, please dig the heck outta that dump and let us know what else you find!

Brou's Injection was for Gonorrhea. I beleive it was one of the few bottles packaged with a syringe.

Good for the Gleet, too.

There's a good close-up of a contents & labelled bottle @ The Royal Parmaceutical Society.

Cool finds! But where are the morels?
With all that Big Rapids stuff it looks like you may be around my neck of the woods, or at least where I grew up.
Don't worry I don't want the secret location of your morel picking spot or where your digging, I live about 2,000 miles from there now!
But if your interested in parting with any of your Big Rapids finds feel free to email me.
Here's a few of Clark's other bottles.
