    Description

    Submitted for your approval.    Guaranteed  old cork top bottles-- dug up by me years ago.   Guaranteed  antique  drug store labels-- bought by me at auction years  ago.
    These bottles and labels did not start out life together but they are  today just the way they would  have looked back in the day.
    Jacob Messing and his son  ran  a drug store/pharmacy in Stapleton , Staten Island , New York  back at the turn of the century.   These labels were  found   in the store when it was renovated  over 50 years ago. they date from the  1890's.
    They make great gag gifts or a nice display in a bathroom.
    They range in size from  3 1/2"   to 9"
    Included are:
    Cholera drops--3-30 drops according to the violence of the pain!
    Diarrhea Mixture-- can never have too much of that  !!!
    Toothache Drops  !
    Carbolic Acid= an amber bottle with a skull  and crossbones on it
    Digestive Powder
    Pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil= a large 9" bottle with a cod fish on the label.
    Along with the bottles  you will get an authentic  flyer  from Messings drug store.  These flyers   are written in English and German.    The town of Stapleton had a large German population= many  of whom  worked in the many breweries  in town. New York has always had  good water-- for  beer, bagels and pizza !!
    Thanks for looking !
