A fascinating testimony to pharmacology
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.
Aconit leaves - POISON
Antique pharmacy jar - Wide-mouthed apothecary jar. 19th-century mouth-blown glass.

Red POISON label
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 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.
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”.
