A rose among the thorns. Glad you saved it, we tend to be a bit rough as we plow through ABMs.

Very true! I have learned the hard way, and I'm sure many others have too. I am as careful as I can be when sticking my shovel in the dirt.

Nice Citrate. I collect those Ellis bottles and have quite a few. Charles Ellis made quite a few different things and Citrate of Magnesia was one of them. Here is an old ad.
