SHARPE & DOHME BALTIMORE
Amber 2 1/2" x 1" diameter also
4" x 1 5/8" diameter

No further given on that but on a blue bottle by
same company A.P. Sharpe opened an Apothecary in Baltimore in 1845 and formed partnership with Louis Dohme in 1860.
Became Merck, Sharpe & Dohme in 1953.

Helllo all -
These contained Lapactic pills and 100 per bottle. Strychnine was included in each tiny pill according to it's label. Very dangerous stuff, to say the least. [:'(]
