Description
Tiny pill bottle with "Potassium Permanganate" (gr. 1) printed on label. The bottle is a flattened cylinder with narrow neck, cork stopper and black-on-green printed label, in a blue cardboard box. It includes a trademark handbill.
This bottle is one of the many fixtures and fittings of Savory and Moore's Pharmacy, on permanent display in the Medical History Museum. The fixtures and furniture come from the original pharmacy situated at 29 Chapel Street, Belgrave Square, London. The majority of the bottles and jars come from Palmer's Pharmacy, Ballarat, Victoria. All these are strictly contemporary with the ones originally in the Chapel Street shop. There is also a small display of pre 1920 drugs manufactured by Burroughs Wellcome and other firms.
