1880-1910s New York Pharmacal Medicine and 40 similar items

This is a vintage, quack medicine bottle embossed "NY Pharmacal Association" made by the Arlington Chemical Company of Yonkers, New York, somewhere between the late 1800s and early 1900s. The company sold quack medicine under a variety of names including the Palisade Manufacturing Company. The drug company offered cures for just about anything including a remedy for the "nerves" called Hemaboloids which contained arsenic and strychnine. (I guess proof that what doesn't kill you, cures you.) Another popular product was Boroylptol, an antiseptic for both internal and external use. This bottle likely dates to that turn of the century time frame. My father, an avid bottle digger, found the bottle more than 35 years ago in the ruins of an old southern plantation in Virginia. The cork-topped quack remedy bottle is in wonderful condition, free of breaks or cracks. The cork is missing. Clarity is great although there are some sediment deposits. (See photos.) There are also a few age related bubbles. The vintage cure bottle measures about 7" tall and 2.75" wide.
