Label of the French Pharmaceutical Cooperation (Melun).
Formerly containing "Datura powder", a plant of the Solanaceae family known for its very high content of alkaloids (atropine and scopolamine).
The bottom of the jar has its original factory markings: the "500" (500 ml) capacity, the "FRANCE" mention, and the in-house stamp "A.P."
In ancient pharmacy, Datura was used as an antispasmodic and a major sedative, especially in the form of smoking powders or cigarettes to dilate the bronchial tubes of asthmatics.
But the handling of this witches' plant was a perilous exercise because the border between the therapeutic effect and the fatal intoxication was thin.
Its absorption (ingestion or inhalation) is a source of hallucinations, abnormal behaviors, mental confusion, amnesia, delusions leading to coma and then cardiac and respiratory arrest.
It comes from an old cellar-laboratory in a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles had not moved since the late 1950s on the shelves. The cellar had served as a laboratory for medical analyses and a laboratory for magistral preparations of the pharmacy from 1900 until around 1950.
