Make sure you don't confuse "sold by" with who the actual proprietor of the medicine was. The proprietor of this medicine was Dr. Louis C. Turner of St. Louis, Missouri. He distributed it to many pharmacies throughout the country for them to sell and you can see advertisements in many...
Went out last weekend and dug a few holes in the rain. My first hole was a dud, but my two sons dug an enormous hole and managed to pull out a few neat things, including a very rare amber pharmacy bottle from Castleton in Galveston (in two pieces, but glueable for sure and the first we have...
Went back down to Galveston last Sunday to continue on the lot we dug the privy on the previous outing. I got into the privy I had found the previous week and managed to get it dug out, though it was a real mess...there is a water main leak about 3-4' away, the lot is very sandy, and one wall...
