There is still some product left inside
This is the cola nut – Cola nitida – the original ingredient of the famous Coca-Cola, but in its pure, laboratory form.
Cola was the king of tonic and energy-boosting preparations:
Cola Wine: This was the best-selling preparation over the counter. The chemist would macerate crushed cola nuts in fortified wine (often Malaga or Grenache). It was prescribed for convalescence, fatigue or as an aphrodisiac.
Cola Elixir: A more concentrated, alcohol-based version to ‘boost the strength’ of workers or athletes (widely used by early cyclists!).
Tinctures and Syrups: To relieve headaches or aid digestion.
This large-capacity jar was a storage jar intended for keeping stock.

A fascinating testimony to pharmacology
It comes from an old cellar-laboratory in a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not moved since the late 1950s on the shelves. The cellar had served as a laboratory for medical analyses and a laboratory for magistral preparations of the pharmacy from 1900 until around 1950.
