"Lion" The Great Blood Remedy and Alternative Tonic

[QueenBee]

I got this one in a box lot at an auction. I have not been able to find any information about the company, Lyon Blood Purifier Co., Roanoke VA. Love how they used Lyon and Lion. Looks like it's never been opened. I cannot find a date on it anywhere. I would appreciate any information about it and what it's value might be. Thank you.

I found that in a newspaper. I only looked from 1899-1945 and it was the only result for “Lyon blood purifier”.

Wow, thank you!! It's the only time I've seen this company mentioned anywhere.

Adding this on a few minutes later. I searched W.N. Ruffin of Danville. Found an article from Dec 10, 1912 New York Times. Apparently he was the great, great grandson of Thomas Jefferson. I love this stuff! It's incredibly exciting for me!! Thanks again!!

My favorite kind of bottles and I love the stories behind every one of them.
