Back in the day when this bottle was in circulation, the Native American Indian was looked upon with aura and mystique.   Many early-day patent medicine men used them as a symbol to sell their medicines and suggested that the 'Indian' medicines held secret age-old formulas that had been concocted over the centuries by the Native American.   The Indian cures, bitters, liniments, sarsaparilla's, patent medicines, were often advertised as containing some kind of miraculous healing powers from natural ingredients that were extracted from different roots and herbs that the Native American Indians had used for centuries to treat such things.  In reality
