Set of six clear glass pharmacy bottles, of various sizes, preserved with their original cork stoppers and typical blue-framed handwritten labels. The inscriptions refer to numbered series (S13, S23, S14...) associated with "centesimal" dilutions (mentions "2e cent", "3e cent", "million"), characteristic of late 19th-century homeopathic or experimental preparations. One of the bottles bears the inscription "SEBM 30e", indicating an advanced dilution. The visible contents, mostly white and powdery, correspond to lactose bases or excipients used to fix active ingredients. The set offers a coherent reading of an old pharmaceutical classification system, both scientific and empirical.
