Pair of translucent glass bottles, preserved with their original stoppers and particularly detailed handwritten labels, mentioning medical experiments. They include "Anti-syphilitic guinea pig lung", "guinea pig adrenal capsule", as well as references to "antitoxin serum", a "1st passage", a notebook page, and the precise date of September 29, 1909, with location in Reims. These mentions directly refer to the experimental practices of the early 20th century, particularly research in serotherapy and guinea pig testing, frequent in the context of studies on syphilis and certain serious pathologies. An exceptional set due to the richness of the handwritten information, a true laboratory witness.
