Answers:

Ok, I'll be first but could be wrong...The "R" could be some sort of trademark sign or code for the pharmacy. As for the snake around the glass container symbol - it goes back to the Greeks. I believe the glass is some sort of mixing glass for medicines and as for the snake...I dunno. I'll keep checking back for your 2nd, 3rd, ect. answers (remember, I was 1st). I wanna know for myself and I'm gonna give you a big star for this question.
