I see that the bottle is embossed "cure" and the label says "remedy".[]

Hi. I am new at this. I really can't figure out what is wrong. It really seems that all is not right!

ya woody right on.it also says the whole 1906 act thing on the label but the bottle says "cure" [8|] it is a good "relabel" i almosted bid on it.,matt

Just a thought: it is possible Kilmer reprinted labels with REMEDY , etc., and applied them to remaining "cure" bottles he had in stock.[/align]That paper looks too brittle/dry to have been applied recently...JMHO.[/align]

Gotta agree, I would put money on those labels being put on cure bottles originally. One, manufactures often bought, washed and reused even medicine bottles, and two, the public outrage and food and drug act was quick, it spread on the industry in a flash, so many proprietors would have had a large supply of bottles embossed cure that they had to use still...

I think you are correct there. Doesnt surprise me that much. Too bad the label isnt better, would be an interesting piece.
often you see the new label put right over the embossing to obscure it, like that Robinson's label over an Ayer's bottle i posted a while back.
