Vintage green glass pharmacy bottle, intended for aconite tubers, an extremely toxic plant formerly used in pharmacopoeia. It retains its large "Poisonous Substance - Aconite (Tubers of) - Codex 1908" label, a red diamond-shaped "Aconite - Pulv." label and its "Toxic" warning strip. The contrast of the deep green glass, the old labels and the cork stopper makes it a beautiful apothecary piece for a collection of poisons, old remedies or scientific curiosities.
