M. Scott & J. B. Gilbert of Sacramento for their "Top-Notch Tonic" elixir. Is this Gilbert any ancestor of yours and if so, do you have any other information about this "Tonic"? If I can figure out how to attach a .jpg photo I will send one on to you.

In the photo at Pismo your mom looks like Kim and you look like Katie. <br />Loved Darcy's dress with the bows, too.
