EDWARD SIEGFRIED HERMES No. 6, Farleigh Road Stoke Newington London N.
Chemist do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
A round, square, octagen or any other shape bottle, which in design may be ribbed
fluted or plain, of white, blue, or any other coloured glass, which having the
appearance of an ordinary stoppered bottle is nevertheless entirely closed at the
ordinary mouth or neck, it is therefore necessary to reverse the bottle before
the contents can be emptied, the outlet for the liquid being by means of the mouth
which is at the base of the bottle, and which is closed by means of a cork, india
rubber, glass, screw or any other stopper & which mouth is grooved in such manner
in order to facilitate the flow of the liquid.

An Improved Bottle for Containing and Dispensing Poisonous
Liquids or other Deleterious and Dangerous Medicines or
Compounds.
EDWARD SIEGFRIED HERMES of No. 6, Farleigh Road, Stoke Newington in the
County of Middlesex, Chemist, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
This invention consists of a Bottle made round, square, octagen, or any other shape,
which may be plain, fluted or ribbed in design, and manufactured in white, blue,
green or any other coloured glass and which has the appearance of an ordinary
dispensing bottle, but is entirely different from it in construction, as the usual mouth or
neck A at the top of the bottle is entirely closed in the manufacture of same, so that
the contents of the bottle cannot be poured out in the customary manner, i.e. from
the top by means of the ordinary mouth of the bottle, as the mouth of this bottle of
my invention is at the base or bottom B of the bottle, which is closed by means of a
glass, india rubber, cork, wood or any other stopper; therefore before the contents
can be poured out the bottle must be reversed.
The advantages I claim for my invention are as follows: The usual mouth of the
bottle being closed obviates any person pouring out the contents in the customary
manner, and mistaking it for an ordinary mixture bottle, and the mouth of the bottle
being at the base or bottom the action of reversing the bottle being necessary before
the contents can be poured out, being so entirely novel compels the most negligent or
thoughtless person to reflect as to its contents. Further Lotions, Liniments, Embro-
cations &c. containing volatile substances such as Ether, Chloroform &c. are better
preserved, and those containing insoluble powders or precipitates are better agitated
or mixed.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is:-
1st. A bottle entirely closed at the top, or ordinary mouth or neck.
