Hello,
A bottle was recovered from a early twentieth century logging camp that
was marked "Kidney Gin" on one panel and "A. Bauer & Co/Chicago" on the
other. Aside from learning that Bauer & Co may have been involved with
pharmaceuticals, I have not been able to track down any useful
information. One thing I am particularly curious about is whether
Kidney Gin was a brand name for alcohol (gin) or a patent medicine. Any
information on the topic would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
