JOHN WYETH & BROTHERS CANNABIS POWDER:
JOHN WYETH & BROTHERS CANNABIS POWDER:
INDIAN CANNABIS - powdered extract Mfg. by "John Wyeth & Brothers" Philadelphia. 1890 Wyeth INDIAN CANNABIS Bottle Label+Cork. This is a wonderful, hard to find pharmacy bottle for INDIAN CANNABIS, by John Wyeth & Brothers, with original cork and label. The label, though showing signs of wear and age discoloration is very legible. It reads in part, "Poison / Powdered Extract / No. 19 / Indian Cannabis / Cannabis Indica / Indian Hemp, Foreign / Anticdote: Hot brandy, and water…and the patient be allowed to sleep… / John Wyeth & Brothers / Philadelphia". The back oval label reads, "Keep well corked and in a cool place." The lip has a tiny flake on the back, and bottle has minor powder residue, which do no distract. The bottle stands 3 ˝" tall, the cork is stuck in place. A nice addition to a pharmacy, apothecary or medical collection, particularly including the early narcotics. This is from a collection of pharmacy items, primarily from the 1890s-1920s which we have had stored for many years
