All of us diggers have pulled out what at first appeared to be a good bottle and even worse at times broke what had been a good one .It stinks but that's the way it goes Sometimes there is another one like in the same dump so just keep trying

That’s a good date. Sample bottle it looks like. 1880-90s.

I know the feeling, gold boy. But it also gives you the drive to keep looking, and when you do find a whole one, it makes you all the more happier. Keep on digging, ggb!

I think I read somewhere that anything labeled as a cure was before a certain time period, because the government started cracking down on the whole snake oil business. Too bad it's broken, I know the feel. Keep looking and I'm sure you'll eventually find a whole one!
