Reading and translation of Pic 1,
頻學喚人縁
性慧偏能識
主為情通
The name of caller is repeatedly learned
because of of its natural inteligence
It has also emotions toward the owner

This is a citation from Liu Yuxi's poem "Happy Parrot" (Liu Yuxi 772-842, Chinese poet,philosopher and essayist active in Tang Dynasty)

I can't read the texts fully on pictures 2 and 3, because they are out of focus. The rough engraving making it harder anyway.
I think this medicine bottle is Korean made.

With regards,
I.Nagy
