Douglas' Hair Restorer
This one is quite interesting because the bottle says: "Eclectic Remedies - H. A. Tucker" and the label says: "W. J. Douglas - Hair Restorer." I found William J. Douglas listed as a Hairdresser in 1888 at 700 DeKalb. The label says 698 DeKalb. Harrison A. Tucker was a Physician at 393 Clinton the same year. So, I guess one of the following is probably true:

  1. Tucker and Douglas were partners
  2. Douglas took over Tucker's location and used his bottles
  3. Douglas took over Tucker's patent medicine business entirely
