I am a retired Family Doctor in UK and first rescued bottles from a cellar when researching the history of Dr Hadwen of Gloucester who was a Pharmacist before becoming a doctor. I then learnt about Cures and Quack Cures and their significance and also the BMA publications Secret Remedies As time went by I also started to add patent poisons and my wife, being a retired Health Visitor, interested herself in baby feeders, Victorian Night Lights, and Doulton. Apart from some very rare Cures the rarest patent poisons are the set of Skulls, the Coffin and the Binocular and Burgons Ammonia poisons.

It is difficult to show all the embossing on aqua bottles but I am revising detail slowly to give as reasonable amount of specific information as is possible using the additional features with Flickr to give detail and measurement recording for reference. Run your cursor over photo to display embossed wording detail. I welcome enquiries or comments. Use email mike@michaeltill.com
