I took a trip to American Science and Surplus(greatest store ever), and found this bevy of bottles.
Then after some web searching, I entered The Esoteric Order of the Brazen Dawn for some alchymical texts. I am now in the process of aging some labels which have the modern chemical formula as well as alchymical names from the 1700s. here's the first one-
