Object Details
- Description
- This conical-shaped, wooden drug jar and lid has an ivory-colored shield which reads "AMMON:/ MURLAT:" The paper label glued to the interior of the lid is very dirty, and is illegible. Containers 1991.0664.0889 through 892 appear to be from the same apothecary.
- Ammon Murlat is used as an expectorant for acute cases of bronchitis.
- The Deutsche Apotheken-Museum in Heidelberg, Germany has similar containers in their collection.
