#1273 - Dr S.A. RICHMOND SAINT JOSEPH Mo Dr S A Richmond St Joseph , MO. Circa 1880s This is probably the earliest of the Dr Richmond bottles. It has an applied lip and the base is marked with the McC glass house mark (William McCully and Company, Pittsburgh, PA (1841-c.1909)) The product was Richmond's Samaritan Nervine. The main treatment of the medicine was fits (epilepsy) and nervous diseases but the maker also made totally outrageous claims that the medicine could change peoples moral character. I found this a pretty unusual claim in the patent medicine business.
Bottle Description : aqua, applied tapered
lip, stripe of amber glass in lip, marked McC on base, Post mold
