People have had ailments since forever, and there have always been cures available. Whether or not those medicines were effective (or even safe) is another matter.
I suspect these bottles were painted by overzealous amateur restorers after they were recovered from the sea.
In any case, it makes it easier to see that the contents of the bottle on the left, concocted in Rio de Janeiro, would cure tuberculosis, asthma, bronchitis and coughs. Impressive!
Could it be that all patients got was a stiff dose of codeine and alcohol?

Fantastic coffee, friendly staff and the food looks devine. Also absolutely love the gorgeous blue cups!

Excuse the crappy photo.
Drinking a few drops of the sacred Ganga is part of the worship. Here, in Trivini Ghat, near Rishikesh town on the Himalayan foothills, a baba is delicately taking some of this elixir to his mouth, after he performed his daily puja or worship ritual.

Took some photos of Visual Magick’s Hexed And Perplexed : Elixir Kobold Mod. These mods come with ears and animated eyes! You can see them move on their marketplace page when you click Watch it in Action under the photo. I probably could have taken better photos of the mod but I really liked this windlight and setting. marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Visual-Magick-Kobold-Hexed-A...
When Violette's money ran out for the second time, she decided to cash in on her immortality. She made and sold an elixir that preserved youthfulness. Her own flawless skin was the proof that it worked... but i wonder, did it really?

Alchemy: A medieval chemical philosophy having as its asserted aims the transmutation of base metals into gold, the discovery of the panacea, and the preparation of the elixir of longevity.
An art of ancient origins, can be interpreted as an inquiry into man's relationship with the cosmos and the will of the Creator, manifested as either a devotional philosophy transforming sinful man into perfect being, or attempted transmutation of base metals into gold or silver. The catalyst required was the elixir of life, tincture, or philosophers' stone (Elixir of Life), the search for which long obsessed men of all ranks.
Alchemy posits an original unitary energy which separated in space-time into distinct physical elements, "falling apart" and differentiating in the four directions. Perceived as transmutable through shared qualities or correspondences, these elements could one day be reunited in a reconstituted wholeness.
What to see the transformation in real, forget turning the pages of ancient books, take a tour to Hunza and you will see how Quintessence is powering the process of Alchemy.
Monoatomic? Maybe. A superconductor? We hope to know soon. Is it real? Absolutely!

Estou há algum tempo sem criar nada realmente novo e decidi fazer isso hoje, a criatividade estava me importunando e tive que tirá-la para fora. Tentei mesclar a parte viva que o elixir cria e a parte morta onde ele não está presente, espero que gostem e comentem.

These falls are immense 'in the right season'! I visited them when it was dry season and the main fall which should have been more like a tall Niagara was but a trickle, seriously nothing to write home about which is a shame when in season this mighty 80m high falls is a real beast. Therefore I concentrated on the lower tiers where there was more potential for some long exposure work using the 10 stop B+W ND Filter.
This day was a sweet elixir of friendship, laughter, the smell of freshly mown grass, giggling girls rolling down hills, chocolate cupcakes, and shared secrets. I savored every last drop.
Oh, and Happy Fence Friday everyone! Don't know if this one will be accepted to the group, but I'll give it a try.
