Antique GLYKEROIN HEROIN embossed QUACK MEDICINE bottle. Large, early RARE
Amber-colored cylin der-shaped antique medicine bottle that o riginally contained a HEROIN LACED medicine. This one has both CODEINE and OPIUM printed on the label. It is an ORIGINAL ANTIQUE M old B lown bottle with a cork top, dating back a good 100 years old. Bottle embossed on shoulder : ” Glykeron “. Bottle’s label reads in part : GLYKERON… EACH FLUID OUNCE CONTAINS 1 GRAIN CODEINE PHOSPHATE OPIUM DERIVATIVE — MAY BE HABIT FORMING… ALCOHOL 3 1/2 % BY VOLUME… Base of bottle embossed : MARTIN H. / CHEMISTS / NEW YORK. Condition : Bottle is nice, clean and sturdy. This is a shallow surfaced bubble on the base and the embossing is a little weak, but there is nothing specifically wrong with the bottle, NO cracks, chips, dings, damage, etc. It has the ORIGINAL PAPER LABEL and as for the condition of the label, well PLEASE see pictures for a better idea of that. Age : An ORIGINAL ANTIQUE mold blown (ABM) bottle with a cork-top, ca. T his product originally hit the market in the 1890’s as “Glyco – Heroin”, and it was put up in a bottle that looked just like this bottle. As time passed and the FDA was organized, the name of the product was modified to “GlyKeron”, a shortened version of Glyco-Heroin, which is what this bottle is. It was toned down, the Heroin ingredient was dropped, but as the label states on this one, it was still “HABIT FORMING” as it still had a narcotic ingredient (Codeine / Opium) and was classified as an “EXEMPT NARCOTIC”. So instead of it being Glyco-Heroin with Heroin in it, it became Gly-Keron with Codeine in it, as this example is. This is one of a very few antique bottles that has surpassed a century of time with the paper label intact, which makes it quite appealing since the label mentions both CODEINE and OPIUM , check it out!

In China, ancestor worship has long been considered a cornerstone of the culture. Rituals dedicated to the ancestors were meant to honor them and ensure that the ancestors spirits would bestow blessings of health and prosperity on their descendants. Portraits of deceased parents and forebears have served as a focus for these private family rituals since the 16th century. Before the invention of the camera, painting was the only method available to capture and record a face for posterity. In modern times, photography has for the most part replaced paintings as a means of recording images of family members. This exhibition therefore provides a rare opportunity to discuss this vanishing form of memorial portraiture, its techniques and practices, while also analyzing the costumes, rugs, furniture and jewelry of the period described. Historically, ancestor portraits were kept in the family and rarely exhibited publicly. Many portraits reached the marketplace, following the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911 and during the political upheaval and war with Japan that occurred during the first half of the 20th century.
