It is to be hoped that His Majesty will see fit to send to th' country all sorts of artisans, especially potters and a glass-blower an they, will find much to keep them busy."

Since French glass-blowe were proved artisans it can be assumed that they were made in Ne France and held medicine for the sailors on their return trips. Exciting avenues of thought are open as to how the Hunter' bottle came to Bayfield. It is at least 200 years old and contained a thick broWnis liquid. The label on the bottle, brown with age, was, in French an all Mrs. Hunter could make out was "Sous ma signatUre" in a .archaic type of printing. The Hunter's summer home on the corner of Victoria Place an Ann Street is a two-storey frame in Folk Architecture. The late Pete McGee told Mrs. Hunter that originally it was barn situated on the lot where Mrs. Paul Moss' cottage was built. was, according to him, moved across the road to higher ground an' became James Whitten's wagon shop. It is constructed with larg cedar beams on which the bark had not been removed. The supposition is that the vial may have contained a drug fo animals. And that when the wagon shop was converted into dwelling this bottle was sitting unnoticed on a beam and lathed in the miracle is that it wasn't cracked or broken in the present renovation).

Perhaps it contained some special medication dispensed by th Jesuits and treasured in -a family for generations for some specie cure. French from Quebec were among early settlers in Bayfield. It is curious • that this vial of great historic value should be found in Bayfield so far from Quebec, but also amazing is that it wa found here by a man who is an authority on glass.'
