>among 19th Century laborers to cure them of whatever was ailing them at the
>moment. The bottle now sits atop a cafeteria-length table--alongside 70,000
>other artifacts--in a nearby barn, part of a major archeological
>undertaking that Staeck says is unique in the Midwest. "We believe there is
>nothing in the Midwest that has ever been done to this degree," Staeck
>said. "When this ends, we hope to have the most extensive study of 19th
