In very small doses, Arrhénal was used at the time as a general tonic, particularly to treat anaemia, malaria and tuberculosis.
However, at higher doses or with prolonged use, it led to severe chronic poisoning (arsenic poisoning), causing skin lesions, digestive disorders, nerve damage and irreversible damage to the liver and kidneys.

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.
