It is HARD TO FIND an example of this bottle in this LARGE size.  Though we've had several of these bottles over the years, we've only seen a few, ever, in this
LARGE 8 inches plus - 20 OUNCE size
.   On top of that, it is
also an unusual TRIANGULAR SHAPED bottle
, a shape that was very seldom used for old bottles.   The L. D. Caulk Co. was a pioneer in the manufacturing of early-day dental products including many bottled products. Most of them were more in the line of cements for filling cavities, and tooth repair, even for the manufacturing of false teeth, but some of them were like this, a dental antiseptic rinse, cavity and pyorrhea fighter, recommended by early-day dentists for anything and everything that had to do with the TEETH.  These come in at least four (4) different sizes, this LARGE
size is quite a jump up in size from the next larger one we've seen. This would be
the KING of a string of these, set up for viewing in a modern-day Dental Office
