Evyan Perfume and 5 Drops medicine bottle
« on: March 22, 2012, 10:09:28 pm »
I found these at an antique shop and was wondering if anyone knows what year they're from and if they're worth anything.
The perfume is called Most Precious.

Myers Lab was started in 1946 when it was purchased form Colonel George G Green of Green patent medicine laboratory - (He got out of the medicine business because alcohol/prohibition and he needed the alcohol for his medicine recipe!)

You will find lots of concoctions made for internal maladies from late 1800's to early 1900's that were short-lived and wouldn't be consumed today!!!

When I look at the ingredients in this one...you don't find it consumed these days but is more of a topical blend. :)

When I saw the name Five Drops,, the first thing I thought about was paragoric which was an opium derivative and was commonly used back then and into the late 50`s for stomach ailments !!  Horrible tasting stuff and was used by drops !!  It was even given to children !!  
Glad this wasn`t it !!

It was my grandmothers cure all !! Even if we had a tummy ache,, we kept our mouth shut and didn`t say so !!  It was a toss  up which tasted worse Groves Chill Tonic or that stuff !!
