Dear HistArch'ers

On behalf of a colleague of mine in English literature, I'm reposting this
query in case any of you might be able to help:

"The 1906 book 'My Cornish Neighbors' by Edith Ellis has a passage that
refers to alcohol bottles with red and white labels with the word
"Salutaris" printed on them. Do you know what spirit this would be? Where
was it made? Is there anywhere I could find an image of this kind of
bottle?"

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. A quick google search revealed a
Saluteris Bitters produced in San Francisco around this time but I am not
sure if that would have been exported to England during this period?
