Antique pharmacy bottle
Green label: SUBSTANCE TO BE SEPARATED - CODEX 1908
This means that this bottle had to be kept separate from the others because it was dangerous in high doses - POISON
This means that this bottle had to be kept separate from the others because it was extremely dangerous and deadly – POISON
The Queen of Poisons: Aconite! Also known as wolfsbane
Extremely toxic; it is estimated that 2 to 4 milligrammes – the size of a grain of sand – is enough to kill an adult within a few hours by causing progressive paralysis of the respiratory and cardiac centres.
However, it was used in very small doses as a painkiller, a cough suppressant or to reduce fevers.
Here, the bottle is also accompanied by a ‘danger’ label: this substance had to be stored separately in the Poison Cabinet, the key to which was held solely by the apothecary.
It comes from the former cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not been moved from the shelves since the late 1950s. The cellar had served as a medical analysis laboratory and a laboratory for the pharmacy’s compounded preparations from 1900 until around 1950.
