    Description

    Up for sale is a very nice lot of 3 small apothecary bottles with ground glass stoppers. All 3 have recessed labels with similar design. I'm not a bottle expert but I would say that these are from the early 1900s since there are a number of air bubbles in these bottles. All 3 are approx 5" tall with stopper. Approx 4-3/8" without the stopper. Please view all photos as they reflect the condition of these bottles.
    Pot. Chlor. - Potassium Chlorate was used in the late 1800's s a gargle to treat severe tonsilitis and stomatitis
    Antipyrin - In the late 1800's and early 1900s was used as an antipyrectic, anti-rheumatic, anti-neuralgic, antiseptic, hemostatic and anasthetic.
    Amidopyrin (pyramidon) was used to treat fever, neuralgia, myositis, acute rheumatism, arthritis, chorea.
    More info on above...Antipyrine and aminopyrine (amidopyrine) were introduced into medicine in the late nineteenth century as antipyretics, and subsequently were also widely used as analgesics and anti-inflammatory agents. However, clinical use of aminopyrine was sharply curtailed after its potentially fatal bone marrow toxicity, agranulocytosis, was recognized, and antipyrine has also lost favor.
