Accessed March 25, 2017. https://sha.org/bottle/medicinal.htm. Subject The topic of the resource In the colonial period, little was known about health, so practices to address it were suspect. Most medications were self-prescribed and administered, as doctors were scarce and often poorly trained. This led to a proliferation of patent or proprietary medicines that continued into the 20th Century (Lindsey 2016). Colonial medications were naturally derived, and marketed to cure a wide variety of illnesses. Most popular in the mid-19th Century, sarsaparilla contained 18% alcohol and was made from root extracts (Lindsey 2016, Griffin 2014). It was thought to purify the blood and even cure heart disease, edema, rheumatism and scrofula (Griffin 2014). As a medication, sarsaparilla may have escaped scrutiny under the alcohol rules of the college. This bottle was produced by C.I. Hood & Co. of Lowell, Massachusetts. The company was founded in 1875, and produced a number of medicines including sarsaparilla (Griffin 2014). Hood’s and its main competition, Ayer’s Sarsaparilla, were some of the biggest pharmaceutical advertisers of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries, when sarsaparilla use started to become less medicinal (Lindsey 2016). In the early colonial period, pharmaceutical bottles were characterized by conical kick-ups that flattened by the mid-19th Century (Hume 1969, 73). Rectangular glass bottles with indented panels were popular throughout the 19th Century, with embossed words appearing at the height of the patent medicine boom in the second half of the century (Lindsey 2016). Regulations on drug labeling and manufacturing didn’t arise until the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906, so most early patent medicine bottles (such as this one) were embossed with the contents and name of the manufacturer (Lindsey 2016). 19 20 glass Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
