This bottle initially contained "Opium Extract Pills at 1 centigram", prepared by the famous Central Pharmacy of France, located at 21, Rue des Nonnains d'Hyères in Paris.
In the early twentieth century, opium extract was a pillar of pharmacopoeia.
Administered in the form of strictly dosed pills, it served mainly as a powerful analgesic to calm acute pain, as a major sedative to soothe the nervous system, and as a radical treatment against severe intestinal conditions such as diarrhea.
If its therapeutic virtues were unavoidable, its border with the poison was tiny: a too high dose caused a fatal respiratory depression, and its prolonged use led to a destructive dependence: opiomania.
The pharmacist’s handwritten annotations in black ink on the label recall the rigorous control that surrounded its delivery.
