500cc Glass Infusion Ampoules, Called Baxter
God keep him and rest his soul, but it's still quite true that he was completely paranoid, that pharmacist from Bou… The small town where my wife was born. No doubt it was the fumes he inhaled throughout his life from the blast furnaces or the numerous pottery factories in the village… The salt-glazed stoneware pottery from Bou is still famous… But good heavens, why had he kept relics of bottles of physiological saline and glucose solution in 500cc Stella ampoules, still in their cardboard cylinders, with the labels already mentioning a 4-franc deposit for these cases? (The concept of recycling isn't new…)… This pharmacist didn't live through the Great War but was surely already running his pharmacy during the Second. Nevertheless, it's thanks to his eccentricities that we can now complete our collections of old medical objects. Didn't I say? Oh, sorry, there are six still sealed except for two for the pictures, 25 cm
