Old Fashioned Poison Bottle. Stock Image - Image of medical, human: 16256231
Design is fine. History is mine.
Poison bottle with Belladonna tincture, 1880-1900. England. Belladonna or Deadly Nightshade is a poisonous plant. However, leaves and roots have medicinal qualities. Leaves were used as a narcotics to induce sleep or as a muscle relaxant. A tincture is an alcoholic solution of a medicine. Poison bottles had distinctive textures and colours – like this cobalt blue – so they could easily be identified by touch and by sight. sciencemuseum
