Basin Depot 2000 - Bottles

This cluster of bottle fragments is composed of medicinals, elixirs, painkillers, and miracle restoratives. One even bears the embossed letters "WIZA...." which suggests some magical properties. Patent medicines of the day often contained combinations of alcohol and painkillers. They were readily available over the counter, through traveling pedlars, and by mail order.
