Hi. I'm researching a man named William Gray who produced a medicine called Snakene. I'm wondering if he might be one of your ancestors. I would love to get the image of the bottle pictured above in a format where I could enlarge it, etc. If you would email it to me at genfo (at) email.com, I would be very appreciative. Thanks!

This great
,,Thanks for sharing the story. I like the stamped bottles. I have alot of heritage pics my Mom gave to me that I want to scrap so that my son knows about his family..Its really fun isnt it! Great page!
AWESOME heritage photo..your grandpa was so handsome!!! Great pps and colours, love the bottles of Snakene..what a name for a cure it all remedy!! The punched and stamped pp behind the photo is excellent!
I'm lovin' your heritage LO's - this one has such a great story and perfect pp - the bottles are such a wonderful addition - wouldn't it be great if you got the recipe from your cousin and added it to your LO?
This is my grandfather, my mother's dad. This is my fave picture of him. The two bottles are what is probably left in the entire family of an old potion that he told he got from an indian. Thus, there is the likeness of a native American on the lables. I remember him making it. The base is White Benzene which is turpentine or we used to call it coal oil (remember that). The label claims that it's good for just about everything, and I can promise if you put in on a bug bite it will be gone in no time. Watch out getting it on a cut...it burns but whatever the spices were he soaked in the benzene, it works. I think my cousin still has the receipe. It would be a great product to get rich on if it wasn't discovered that benzene is hazardous to your health! LOL Really, it has a very strong odor that makes it smell like someone spilled gasoline in the house.
