notes: label: Description
content: One of seven (7) specimens of official medicinal alkaloids and alkaloidal salts donated by Merck & Company in 1929 for the pharmacy exhibits. These specimens replaced material from a 1919 exhibit. The earlier material was probably supplied by the Powers-Weightman-Rosengarten Company, a Philadelphia firm acquired by Merck in 1927. Objects in the pharmacy exhibits were often replaced with “fresh” preparations as specimens became depleted, discolored, or out-of-date.
