Eau Blanche - Circa 1900–1920
Antique pharmacy bottle
Molded green glass apothecary bottle with its original cork stopper.
Label from the Pharmacie de la Rotonde — G. Barthet (Parc Monceau, Paris), bearing the printed text "EAU BLANCHE / AGITER LA BOUTEILLE" (Shake well), topped with the mandatory red banner "MÉDICAMENT POUR L'USAGE EXTERNE" (For external use only).
Eau Blanche (White Water), also known as Goulard's Water or diluted Extract of Saturn, was an emblematic compounded preparation of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was an astringent and decongestant lotion made of lead subacetate diluted in water, applied as a compress to bruises, sprains, and skin inflammation.
The name Eau Blanche came from the milky appearance the solution took on after being shaken, hence the instruction on the label. Although commonly used, this preparation remained toxic: if applied to broken skin, it ran the risk of causing cutaneous lead absorption, leading to chronic lead poisoning (saturnism).
It comes from the old cellar-laboratory of a Parisian pharmacy. The bottles 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.
