Antique vial "Spleen - Syphilitic rabbit - Dr. Reignier" (f41)

Small transparent glass laboratory bottle, preserved with its original cork stopper annotated "Rate 80 verre" (Spleen 80 glass). The handwritten label states "Rate – Lapin syphilisé Dr Reignier" (Spleen – Syphilised Rabbit Dr. Reignier), most likely indicating a sample or preparation from an inoculated animal experimental model, as part of studies related to syphilis. This type of terminology, typical of the early 20th century, refers to laboratory practices aimed at reproducing and studying infectious pathologies in animal models. The presence of a doctor's name enhances the historical and scientific interest of this piece.
