And we're off! The first of two exciting consecutive Saturday events for us at the museum. Today we're hanging out with The British Society for the History of Pharmacy for a very packed programme of talks and tours! #PharmHist #HistPharm
A wooden box with open lid. The tops of bottles can just be seen peeping up over the edge. Four glass medicine bottles stand in front of the box. One contains a red liquid, one some white powder and a third has a yellow liquid in it.
19th century Medicine chest. Its contents includes Dr Gregory's Stomachic Powder, Castor Oil, Peruvian Bark and Powder of Jalap. Many of the bottles still contain original liquids and powders!

#HistPharm people: help!
Is there something in a 1930s/40s mental hospital, that would render someone unable to speak, but then dissipate enabling conversation? Hypnotic or sedative? Something like somnifen

Little patches of moss with tiny flower heads on concrete pier.
Hoping for swarm support: Has anybody access to "The War Budget"? - I am interested in the December 30th issue 1915: 220. Thanks a lot and a mossy 2015! #sphagnum #dressingmaterial #histnursing #histmed #histpharm
A small rectangular wooden box with brass coloured weights in a variety of shapes. There is a size key at the size indicating that the object is about 10cm long.
Another #EYATiny. This is a little set of brass pharmacy weights. The tiny amounts of ingredients needed to make certain medications required the tiniest weights. The smallest would be grains, drams and scruples

A wonderful late Christmas present arrived today: a copy of the beautifully-illustrated 'Moonshots at #Cancer: The Roche Story' by @ctimmermann! Looking forward to reading - thanks, Carsten!
