Vern, Thanks a bunch for that info, interesting that it was manufactured in VT. I had no idea what it was, nor where it came from. It was an interesting ad in an old paper and gave a lot of local business names. Ruth I thought some might be interested in who Greene was and what the ingredients in Greene's Syrup of Tar were. Greene's Syrup of Tar.?Lester H. Greene Co., Montpelier, Vt., manufactured and sold a cough syrup, "Greene's Warranted Syrup of Tar." The Bureau of Chemistry reported that analysis showed the preparation to contain alcohol, chloroform and heroin with tar and potassium salts present. It was sold under the claim that it was an effective remedy for all throat and lung affections, would break up la grippe and prevent pneumonia. These claims were declared false and fraudulent and applied knowingly, recklessly and wantonly. The company was fined $50.?[Notice of Judgment No. 4522; issued Feb. 8, 1917.] I find it interesting what some of our ancestors used to cure their ailments.

The Vermont Phoenix, Brattleboro, Friday, January 16, 1891 Townshend News A pleasant company gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. BLOOD last Saturday evening, to congratulate them on the completion of 25 years of married life, and also to express their appreciation of the services of Mr. B.OOD as leader of the Baptist choir. In behalf of the donors, Rev. Mr. ATHEARN presented gifts of silver, a handsome chased butter dish with butter knife, and syrup cup. Mr. BLOOD responded with a few well-chosen words. In the pastor's remarks allusion was made to the fact thta in the very room in which the guests were assembled, Mr. and Mrs. BLOOD were united in marriage, Jan. 11, 1866, by Rev. Mark CARPENTER.
