Those are all interesting adds and a few quite entertaining. The " fig bitters " caused me to remember Dr. Benjamin Rush's famous "Thunderbolts". He was a respected Physician and friend of Thomas Jefferson. His Thunderbolts were likewise a laxative.
A question, do you or anyone else reading this know if "bottles" marked Dr Rush's thunderbolts have been found, preserved, or listed in a book, Thanks for any information!

Thank you for the reply, I don't know for sure if they were even sold in bottles.
