'Elixir of Long Life' Recreated From 1800s Bottle Unearthed on Bowery

http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20140616/lower-east-side/archaeologists-recreate-elixir-of-long-life-after-unearthing-1800s-bottle

Archaeologists tracked down the German recipe after finding a tiny glass bottle beneath a Bowery site.

"Elixir of Long Life" and "Dr. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters." No info on an exact year, but some of you may be able to date the bottle they found.
