I am doing some research on patent medicines found at an urban site
in Columbus, Georgia.  Although I have checked through a number of bottle
references, I could find only limited information on the following bottles:
Darby's Prophylactic Fluid, Dr. Dickey's Eye Water, Dodson's Liver-tone,
Gude's Peptomangan, Dr. Hood's Eureka Liver Medicine, Taylor's Sweet Gum and
Mullein.  The information I am looking for includes dates of manufacture,
historical data, actual contents of the products, advertising.  Taylor's
Sweet Gum and Mullein was claimed to be a Cherokee remedy and I would love
to find documentation to prove or disprove this claim.
