Collins' (C.F.) Kallocrine For The Hair
I found a Cristopher F. Collins listed as a Druggist in Middletown starting in 1856. He continued until around 1875, having partners at different times. He was listed with a home address only in 1876.

I had an example of the first bottle below in my own collection. I saw an example of the second bottle for sale by David Maniquis, at the Baltimore Bottle Sale. It looks like it's from around 1885-1905. Most likely, someone carried on the business after 1875.
