| Description Of Item | This small wooden box contains homeopathic remedies. On the cover of the box is an image of a man, with 'Hahnemann' written underneath it. This is likely to be Samuel Hahnemann, German founder of homeopathy.
An address on the base of the box is partially rubbed off, but appears to be: 'Homeopathic Hospital, 17 Mount Pleasance, Liverpool'.
In the box there are seven rows of small glass vials with cork stoppers, labelled with their medical names (e.g. 'Arsenicum Album'). There is also a small brass rod, presumably for removing the medicines from the vials.
Only approximately half of the vials which the case has capacity to hold are actually there. There are 29 vials with cork stoppers and a further 3 without. All the vials are empty of medicine. |
