Historical Strychnine Poison Label - 19th Century Apothecary Warning Sign #3265353 (License: Personal Use)

This shield-shaped label, printed in black ink on aged cream paper, identifies “STRYCHNIA” in bold caps at the top, with “POISON.” prominently displayed below a classic skull-and-crossbones motif. The vendor’s name, “From W. H. ADDERLEY,” and location, “Cor. Sixth & Mound Sts.,” are inscribed vertically along the sides, suggesting a U.S. urban pharmacy circa late 1800s. The design reflects pre-regulation pharmaceutical labeling practices, where visual warnings were critical for public safety.

Used in historical medical museums, antique pharmacy collections, or educational content about toxicology and drug regulation history; matches user intent seeking primary-source artifacts of 19th-century medicine or poison safety evolution.
