Patent medicine

[Aelin]

Jim Farris (Xaa) has made Patent medicine ; commercial renders are ok.
And now, few history thank to artist:
A bottle of "Mullen's Liniment", a Patent Medicine from about WWI. Patent Medicines were extremely popular in the 19th century through into the early 20th century, when they were finally banned by the Pure Food and Drug Act and other legislation to try to shape up the drug industry here in the US. Most Patent Medicines contained opium, and Mullins Patent Medicine contained both Opium and Chloroform, and was 66% alcohol (132 proof). Needless to say, whatever the hell it was that was bothering you to make you drink it damn well didn't bother you anymore after a few shots. ;) This item is pretty much ideal for any "Old West" or "Victorian" character, and again, it's the ONLY bottle of patent medicine available for Poser as of this writing. There are five morphs to adjust the level of the liquid inside the bottle (and, of course, the color of the liquid can be changed using the Material Room). The morphs include pouring with the bottle horizontal, pouring with the bottle vertical, lowering the level of the liquid, hiding the liquid (making the bottle look empty), and hiding the cork (for when someone is drinking from it). Lastly, note that though the bottle label is from the early 20th century, there wasn't much difference in labels from the 19th century, so the bottle can easily be used for pretty much any time period from the middle of the 19th century all the way through to the 1930's, when Patent Medicines began to give way to the first real medicines.
