NITRUM ANTIMON
17th-18th century
This blown and molded square shaped bottle is marked in red and black "NITRUM ANTIMON". In the <i>Dictionary of Protopharmacology</i> by J. Worth Estes notes, that Nitrum Antimony is the same as Antamonium Calcinatum, a weak diaphoretic to increase perspiration, and an emetic to induce vomiting.
