notes: label: Description
content: One of thirty-two (32) specimens of drug constituents donated by Frederick Stearns & Company in 1929 for the pharmacy exhibits. The museum provided the company with uniform 4-ounce bottles (known as “French Squares”) for the display. These specimens replaced material from a 1918 exhibit featuring plant-derived constituents used in pharmaceutical preparations (see accession 62370). Material from the earlier donation was returned to the company. Objects in the pharmacy exhibits were often replaced with “fresh” preparations as specimens became depleted, discolored, or out-of-date.
