Embossed Scott's Emulsion Bottle.

This bottle is embossed, SCOTT'S EMJULSION, followed by a picture of a man carrying a fish, and  TRADE MARK, and then COD LIVER OIL WITH LIME AND SODA.

Cod liver oil was a very common remedy and widely used long before Scott's emulsion, but Scott's emulsion also had lime and soda added.  Here is some of what I found.

Scott's Emulsion has a long tradition dating back to the late 19th century, when in 1873 Alfred B. Scott left England for New York with his partner Samuel W. Bowne to present an innovation.

Scott's revolutionary was not cod liver oil, which by those years was already well-known in the United Kingdom for Nordic influences, but its taste, more tolerable than its competitors. It was this that made him gain public acceptance.

By the 1890s, Scott had boosted his brand internationally. The company distinguished by the image of the man with the fish in his back, knew to reinvent for good a recipe that was believed to be unbeatable.

The problem of this substance was the unpleasant taste for the children and therefore, it was thought to modify the recipe so that it had a taste as pleasant as the one of the milk. Scott, although he was not a doctor or a chemist or a chemist, he did have visionary ideas.

The rapid development of scientific medicine between 1890 and the entire 20th century tested Scott's Emulsion, but it resisted the challenge and passed the scrutiny of the specialists. Although there is still much debate regarding the risks and benefits of cod liver oil, there is no doubt as to the efficacy of Scott's Emulsion. It has even been sponsored by the GlaxoSmithKline , One of the big companies dedicated to the pharmaceutical industry.

While a cod liver oil was used for a lot of years, the maker's mark on the bottom of this bottle narrows the bottle down to a ten-year period.  It has an O in a square, which indicates the Owens Bottle Co, and a date range of 1919 - 1929.
