Cocaine Throat Lozenges Tin — Gosiérine DALLOZ
Antique lithographed tin pocket box for Gosiérine Dalloz, dating from the Art Nouveau period (circa 1900–1910).
This vintage pharmacy container originally held antiseptic throat lozenges formulated with menthol, sodium borate, and cocaine.
Designed to soothe throat ailments, Gosiérine Dalloz was distributed in France and exported to Spanish-speaking markets—hence the Spanish text printed on the bottom of the tin.
The use of cocaine as a local anesthetic in throat lozenges remained a reality in pharmacy practice throughout much of the 20th century, from the 1900s through the 1950s.
The lid features a stunning profile portrait of a woman, directly inspired by the style of Alphonse Mucha, the undisputed master of Art Nouveau. The figure embodies the ideal feminine allegory favoured in 1900s advertising. The decoration is completed by typographic compositions and embossed botanical ornamental friezes along the sides of the tin.
Historical directions for use: 6 to 8 lozenges daily for adults, and 2 to 4 for children, allowed to melt slowly in the mouth.
Antique empty tin for 50 lozenges.
Features a mechanical "push-open" mechanism (opens by applying lateral pressure to the sides of the tin). As this is a vintage mechanism, it requires pressing firmly in the right spot to release.
