From the mail I've received, there are two other bottles that are needed out
of this area:  one cures you if you have been haunted by the spirit (the
puzzle that Dan mentions), the other makes you very light, allowing you to
go places you might otherwise not be able to go.  I played the Mac version
of Shadowgate, which allows you to bypass the need for this lightness potion,
but apparently the Nintendo version is not so forgiving.  And I never got
haunted, so I was unaware of this cure.
