snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 04/03/2009 3:48 pm It's kind of off topic, but I also collect old medicine bottles. It kind of goes along with my profession. You'd be amazed what used to go into medicines before government regulation. This particular compound contains a significant amount of alcohol as well as ephedrine, morphine and codeine. Sure to cure whatever ails you! Report this Post to the Staff
chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 04/03/2009 3:53 pm Cool . When I bought my wife's engagement ring a few years ago I got the jeweler to throw in a digital scale for the amount I was paying ... no longer have the ring (or the wife!), but still have the scale .

snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 04/04/2009 09:36 am I had a relative that was a doctor at the turn of the 20th century. Alot of my bottles are from around that time: I also had a relative that owned a pub around the same time: Fortunately my grandfather grew up during the depression and never threw anything away.
