Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2007 7:31 pm
Just saw the message below from one of my friends who is studying nutrition and minoring in homeopathy at Clayton and hangs out occasionally on Ebay. Thought someone might know someone who is interested in case this offer is for real. I did not get the link but it should be easy to find. Teresa (Northern VA)
I found something you or one of your homeopathic colleagues may find interesting. I tried to attach it here, but if it didn't work enter the following "antique homeopathic medicine case" in the search window of ebay.com.
there is a photo and the description is as follows. "This case contains 68 handblown labelled vials filled with various medicines. There is a legend on the lid specifying the contents of each vial. Some have pellets and some have powders. The medicines were prepared by F.E. Boericke, number 635 Arch Street, Phila, Homeopathic chemist. Constantine Hering, M.D. recommended them as reliable. The liquid in the five tincture bottles has evaporated. All others are still sealed. Four of the cork tops have been broken off but they are still in the box. Unfortunately, the leather has had water damage but the wooden box is in tact—opening and closing with a metal key. The leather, embossed in gold, can be restored professionally. Under the eagle it says Homeopathic Pharmacy. F. E. Boericke, Phila. This item was probably made turn of the 19th century for the doctor to carry on his rounds but this was never used. In spite if the water damage this is a great addition to any antique medical supplies collection. Professionally shipped."
