I found the second piece of this today and I can't pin down any info as to what was in it or its age. Can someone point me in a good direction to ID it? Found in gold country California, Thanks!

It's a Holloways Ointment for the cure of Scrofula and other diseases. Made around 1880. Here 's a link to your find.
