Snake oil was usually way high proof alcohol. A couple hits and you forgot what was ailing ya.

Very cool old bottle OP I have never seen one like it.

Back then folks liked to sneak their opiates in liquid form.
Of course, there was the large percentage of booze in it too.

Probably was a cure for alcoholism
