Fenner?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. Milton M. Fenner (1837–1905) was a prominent and colorful figure in late 19th-century American medicine and business. After serving as a Civil War hospital steward and assistant surgeon, Dr. Fenner graduated with an M.D. from the Eclectic Medical College in Cincinnati (1860). Eclectic medicine heavily favored botanical remedies—utilizing roots, barks, and plant extracts over harsh mineral compounds. Settling in Fredonia, New York, Dr. Fenner established the \"People’s Remedies\" line, which grew into a massive mail-order and over-the-counter proprietary medicine empire advertised worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy Is This Piece Rare and Valuable?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \"Holy Grail\" of Ephemera Survival: While antique medicine bottles occasionally survive, they are almost always found empty and orphaned from their packaging.
