Zinc sulphate is a powerful emetic (it causes violent vomiting) and can be corrosive to the digestive mucosa in high doses.
It was used either:
External Use (main): As an antiseptic and astringent, particularly in eye drops (in very dilute doses) or to treat skin problems and ulcers.
Internal use: Prescribed in minute doses for certain nervous disorders such as epilepsy or, paradoxically, to induce vomiting in cases of poisoning by other substances.
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.
