Former American pocket medical kit including a graduated glass hypodermic syringe, its metal needles, and several tubes of original hypodermic tablets, stored in its compact wooden case. The set has a particularly strong aesthetic with its red printed mentions "POISON", "Atropine Sulfate", "Strychnine Sulphate" or "Morphine Sulphate", typical of early 20th century field medical kits. A fascinating object combining ancient medicine, toxicology and cabinet of curiosities, in a very complete and visually spectacular presentation.
