Description

Glass bottle with separate stopper labeled "alcohol 95% wood. Donough & Shavely, Lebanon, PA." "Wood" written in pencil. Looks like a second label under the top one. Donough and Snavely was started in Lebanon in 1911. Label most likely refers to wood alcohol, which is toxic, bringing into question what its medicinal purpose was.
