It details, month by month, the pharmaceutical supplies delivered to the widow Julie Beaudoin in Venizy. Among them are remedies emblematic of the era, such as quinine, coca-kola wine, charcoal lozenges, and paregoric elixir. In addition to its historical and decorative value, this document is a precious resource for enthusiasts of antique medicine, pharmacopoeia, or early 20th-century business correspondence.
