I saw that one on ebay. I was wondering what in the world it would have been used for. The thought crossed my mind, but opium for a crying baby seems all jacked up. And to advertise it so blatently is hilarious. I can't think of what else it would have been though, mabey some alcohol and opium concauction. "Dr. Stoner's Crying Baby Cure"

That's really weird. I wonder how old it is. Who would buy that back then?

My guess: Whiskey.
