A distinctive bottle, vessel, or other receptacle for the containing of poisons to be
used by doctors chemists and others for use in surgery dispensary and other places

poison for distribution amongst their patients and the public generally. The
improvement consists of small projections, cast, pressed or worked upon the bottle,

infringement should another person or persons copy his invention and leave space
elsewhere for label the sole reason of inventor leaving space as shewn being for
the better application and usefulness of his invention.
The inventor claims for his invention the better preservation of life in the sick
chamber and elsewhere through accidental poisoning of patients and others by
nurses and attendants administering medicine from the wrong bottle by mistake,
as by my invention, persons taking hold of my improved bottle vessel or other
receptacle at any time or in any light will tell immediately by the feel of the
pointed projections what the bottle, vessel, or receptacle, contained.
