Clarke's World Famed Blood Mixture Lincoln Bottle.
Clarke's Blood Mixture was thought to cure a variety of diseases, as it was advertised that many ailments were the result of bad blood. The Blood Mixture was to purify the blood, with is ingredients which were a mix of water, burnt sugar, potassium iodide, sal volatile, chloroform, and syrup sweetener(courtesy of the quack doctor, thequackdoctor.com). One of its advertising slogans, using a quote from the book of Deuteronomy, is apparently mentioned and ridiculed in the book Dracula. This bottle is a later variant and is 7 1/2" tall.
