by Bill Agee, Texian Press, TX, 1969.

identified with maker, name and date when known. Terse descriptions include size, color and rarity.
Medicine cures included
everything
from
drunkenness'
to
coughs
and colds, kidney and liver cures, cures for cancer and rheumatism, mosquito bites and fits of epilepsy and more.  This book is an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer, or historian of antique medicine / cure embossed  bottles of all types.
