ZOOLAX keeps ya going..

Pictured below is the amber variation of the Zoolak bottle. Notice near the bottom that it also contains the word Matzoon. Matzoon was Dr. Dadirrian's first product which was introduced in the United States in 1885, and apparently of the same basic formula as Zoolak, only by a different name. Notice in the following 1908 publication where it refers to a Matzoon bottle as ... 1. Pint size2. Round in shape3. Green color4. Label5. Zoolak added to said label ... which leads me to believe there is in fact a green, corked and paper labeled bottle that has both "Matzoon" as well as "Zoolak" on it. Note that both brand names contain the word "zoo." http://books.google.com/books?id=RIYsAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA1624&dq=Dr.+Dadirrian's+Matzoon&hl=en&sa=X&ei=uUHVUrbwCoqEyAHcioDwDw&ved=0CD8Q6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=Dr.%20Dadirrian's%20Matzoon&f=false I am not sure of the age of this amber bottle, nor whether it was before or after the more common aqua variation.

P.S. According to the 1908 publication, the Matzoon/Zoolak label also contained the image of ... "Mount Ararat surrounded by the ark to which a dove is returning bearing an olive branch"

Still a crown top but definitely leaves room for earlier with the 1885 date mention.I'd trade my aqua for that any day.Any idea what's in front of the "R" before Matzoon? Mr.?

cows: I also wondered about the word before Matzoon, but at present don't know what it is. I found this interesting from ... 1908 http://books.google.com/books?id=ainnAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA43&lpg=PA43&dq=matzoon+bottle&source=bl&ots=1RrG859iCt&sig=wH30oHTXcbT9HVu-5Gyj6K_Qlfs&hl=en&sa=X&ei=LE_VUqeSKMHXygGd3oFY&ved=0CCcQ6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=matzoon%20bottle&f=false

HELP! I have spent several hours in search of a Matzoon/Zoolak bottle with a paper label depicting Noah's Ark and Mount Ararat but so far have found nada-zilch-nothing. If you stumble onto one please post it. Thanks Bob
