A set of two antique pharmaceutical bottles in turquoise-tinted glass, from the Organotechnie Laboratories, a registered trademark of FITO, managed by Dr. A. Badreau in Aubervilliers (Seine). These preparations are part of the organotherapeutic pharmacopoeia of the early 20th century, based on the use of animal organ extracts for therapeutic purposes. The larger bottle is labeled "Red Bone Marrow (Fetal Bone Marrow)" with printed dosage instructions, while the smaller bottle is clearly identified as "Parathyroidin." Both bottles still have their cork stoppers and contain some of their original powdered contents.
