Aconite tincture
Antique pharmacy dropper bottle
Dangerous and lethal product – POISON
It comes from the former laboratory cellar 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.
This is a Lamprecht dropper bottle, as can be seen from the embossing on the back of the glass; to be more precise, it is model 36537, a patented design. Lamprecht was known for having invented these bottles around 1882. And as the owner of the Pharmacie de la Rotonde changed in 1900, the bottle therefore dates from the 19th century.

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 POISON label: this substance had to be stored separately in the Poison Cabinet, the key to which was held solely by the chemist.
