The thing about this lightning jar is it is tiny for a fruit jar...it is smaller than a half pint....I am pretty sure it may have been a salesman sample used for promotional purposes...I would love some more information if anyone knows.

Woman's Tonic...most likely for PMS....LOL I hope it was concentrated!!!![]

That medicine and others were produced by an interesting con artist woman that went by the alias Madam Yale. I think her real name was Maude Wilson. She was one of the prominent woman medicine sellers of the late 19th century.

I've heard a lot of theories on the miniature lightnings, but I think they were probably made to can something specific. I have the front embossed and the base embossed versions...the front embossed versions in good shape are ~$200+ jars...people like them. Great finds!

Yeah...that one looked like a "QUACK PATENT MED" when I dug it. After researching the bottle I found out they are quite common. I was surprised as this example is the only one I have personally dug.
