"Florida water" style owl drug? Interesting. I'm guessing that's not a common owl drug form, but I don't collect owl drug so I may be wrong. I just don't remember seeing one before.

It was a staple to any chemist in the 1850's drug store. Makes sense that Owl Drug did. Thanks for the reply.

That’s such a sweet lill bottle! I love the weird water bottles from back then. I don’t remember if that’s the same medicinal Florida water I have somewhere around here, but I have one. My fav is embossed with “boiled water”. Mmmmmmm! Just like moms cooking! Lol! There’s a selling point….

Hoping y’all are safe & dry, and that the water exposed some great treasures for you to find?

Water is still too high. I did pull out a crystal egg cup and a old hand thrown bottle, it is stamped so I will research. Still I thought it would have been higher than it was. I still want to go by the Hudson. That's always a good time.

It is very muddy on the steep bank, no bed to stand on. I felt like I was going to slide into the river a few times. That water still looks dark and angry. I left after a huge branch the size of a telephone pole fell behind me. If I was one minute later I would not be writing this. I can't wait for the water to recede. Everything has changed, New beaches. New washouts everywhere. I can't wait, obviously. Kind of like Christmas morning before you are allowed to open your gifts.
