Miniature glass bottle with original cork stopper, retaining a particularly evocative handwritten label marked "White Mouse - Cancer", accompanied by dosage or protocol indications ("12th bottle - after 500"). This type of inscription directly refers to experimental practices, probably related to medical or biological research of the early 20th century, where white mice were commonly used as study subjects. The whole constitutes a rare and striking testimony to the history of scientific experiments, at the crossroads of medicine and research.
