Found a pretty cool. Dr. Peter Farhrney & Sons, Chicago IL late 1800's bottle. Here are a link with info and better pictures than I can take.

It says....

This 9" tall bottle contained Forni's Alpenkrauter Blutbeleber, which is roughly translated into "Mountain Flower Blood Vitalizer". Dr. Peter Fahrney began production of this in 1869 and moved his business to an elaborate factory in Chicago in the 1890's. He and his sons produced this Blutbeleber based on an early family recipe, as well as other patent medicines.
