Impalpable Nux Vomica powder
Early/ mid-20th century pharmacy pot in white earthenware.
Red POISON and TOXIC label. The labels display the mandatory regulatory red banner "POISON" as well as the historical classification "TOXIC" (Table A)
Signaling to the pharmacist that it is imperative to keep apart the other substances in the cabinet of toxic substances, the famous poison cabinet.
This laboratory container has a label from the French Pharmaceutical Cooperation (Melun).
It initially contained "Impalpable Nux Vomica powder," the main plant source of the dreaded strychnine.
In the pharmacopoeia of the first half of the 20th century, Nux Vomica powder was used in infinitesimal doses as a powerful stimulant of the nervous system, digestive system and circulatory system.
However, its therapeutic margin was extremely narrow: the gap between the effective dose and the lethal dose was tiny.
A minute breach of the prescription transformed this tonic into an overwhelming poison, causing terrible deadly convulsions by asphyxiation. It is this extreme dangerousness that made him excluded from modern medicine.
