Laboratory / homeopathic pharmacy vials (l25)

Set of five clear glass pharmacy bottles, of slightly varied sizes, preserved with their original cork stoppers and handwritten labels. The inscriptions offer a fine array of early 20th-century pharmaceutical practices: "Sulfur" (sulfur, used therapeutically), a precisely dated reference "Feb. 15, 1913", a mention "Ovarine Moncouit" evoking an organotherapeutic preparation, as well as coded indications (S.G.D, numbering, and dosages). The diversity of handwriting and contents — white powders and granules — testifies to real use in a laboratory or dispensary, between classical pharmacopoeia and the beginnings of modern homeopathy.
