From Hull to Hong Kong: A shaggy dog story

Found this embossed bottle - Owbridge's Lung Tonic - on the side of a mountain on Hong Kong Island. Having not found this particular type of medicine bottle before, I took it home and went online to find out who Mr Owbridge was.  I had no idea how serendipitous this chance discovery would turn out to be.

Hello,

Looking for information about these two bottles. 

I pressume the dairy farm glass bottle is for milk, but not the same shape as other known milk bottles.  Found on the peak.  Any ideas of what it was used for and / or date?
