This is one of the perennial mysteries of patent medicine, Stuart. A fellow blogger on the history of advertising, Lidian at Kitchen Retro, discusses the issue in verse here: https://kitchenretro.wordpress.com/2009/03/19/before-and-after-fruit-salt/

Comment on Lockyer's Sulphur Hair Restorer by Rosemary Goudy

Rosemary Goudy — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 17:41:45 +0000

I have a bottle in good condition labeled “Lockyer’s Sulphur Hair Restorer.” It resembles a bottle for a product made by F.M. Rimmington and Son, chemists from Bradford, England. Possible circa 1890-1910. Is this possible and how can I determine the value?

Thank you for your assistance.
