Polished bone cannula – New vintage stock – In its original box
A vintage medical device designed to remove intestinal worms , a very common type of small intestinal parasite.
This small cannula was screwed onto the end of a rubber bulb or an injection syringe. It was used to administer purgative or vermifuge enemas locally.
Carefully crafted: the upper end features a lateral diffusion eyelet, whilst the base has a clean internal thread, turned by a lathe operator, to screw perfectly onto the rubber bulbs of the period.
A sign of the pharmacist’s pragmatism and the early days of wartime restrictions, this box is a pure product of pharmacy recycling.
Indeed, the label from the Ch. Réha Pharmacy (17, Faubourg des Ancêtres, Belfort) has been cut out and hand-pasted onto an older label.
The lid bears the handwritten inscription in black ink from the period: ‘Canule Curoxyure’.
It still has its original price label stuck to the side of the box, stating ‘armament tax included’.
This inscription serves as a chronological marker: the armament tax was introduced in France by the decree-law of 21 April 1939 to finance the nation’s rearmament and was abolished in 1940 at the start of the Occupation. This cannula was therefore sold between May 1939 and sometime in 1940.
It comes from the former cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles and other items 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.
