This large-capacity jar was a reserve jar intended for the storage of raw materials to be processed into powders, tinctures or infusions in the pharmacy laboratory.
It was used to store the dried leaves of Aconite (Aconitum napellus)
The King of Poisons also called Wolfbane.
The aconite causes a death of a speed and a fulgurant violence: mouth burns, icy sweats, vomiting, followed by an anarchic cardiac arrhythmia or a fatal respiratory paralysis in a few hours, all in full lucidity until the end...
Pharmacists used it with extreme caution in therapeutic doses as a nerve sedative, especially against facial neuralgia.
This large-capacity jar was a storage jar intended for raw materials to be processed into powders, tinctures or infusions in the pharmacy’s laboratory.
The ‘POISON’ label at the bottom of the jar is not decorative. Foxglove has a very narrow therapeutic window: the curative dose is very close to the toxic dose. Handling the dried leaves required extreme precision and was strictly regulated due to its high toxicity.
Beautiful handwritten cursive script in pen on the label.
The red paper used for the label was intended for toxic substances, so that the chemist could immediately distinguish them from non-toxic substances. The label also bears the supplier’s details: “Mod. 250, M., J. & Cie, Paris”.
