Laboratory or pharmaceutical dispensary bottle, typical of the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.
Made of blown transparent glass, it has a trace of pontil visible on the bottom, reflecting traditional artisanal manufacturing. It is equipped with its original cap honed with emery, ensuring a perfect fit with the neck of the bottle.
Beautiful enamelled label stenciled with golden highlights, framed by a blue and gold net. This baked enamel technique guaranteed great resistance to handling and chemicals in the pharmacy. A red regulatory label marked "POISON" is applied at the bottom, indicating the poisonous nature of the substance.
In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this bottle contained Mercurous iodide, a heavy salt combining mercury and iodine.
Very present in the therapeutic arsenal of pharmacies, it was mainly prescribed in the form of pills or ointments to treat resistant skin conditions as well as manifestations of syphilis.
A truly lethal placebo in ancient medicine, it was administered to reassure the patient and give the illusion of a curative action by temporarily reversing visible symptoms, while exposing the patient to the ravages of chronic mercury toxicity because it was actually a remedy worse than the disease, the treatment leaving patients to deal with devastating neurological and physical sequelae with loosening of the teeth and progressive destruction of the jaw bone.
