"Gauze containing 'double cyanide of mercury and zinc'...Fletcher's Phosphatonic to 'put your nerves right in a jiffy'...." --- "Consumption, asthma, whooping cough? You need Congreve's Balsamic Elixir...43.8% proof spirit alcohol...." *** The Cotter Medical History Trust was established in Christchurch, New Zealand by retired surgeon Pat Cotter, with the aim to collect, preserve, and display artifacts of a medical nature. It now holds New Zealand's largest collection of biographical notes by doctors and dentists, as well as technical, managerial, administrative, and nursing staff who have worked in Canterbury. This is augmented by a museum of historical medical implements and equipment, medicines, pharmacy equipment, photographs, documents, memorabilia, and books. In this fascinating and, by turns, alarming book, author Claire Le Couteur has researched the background to some of the popular medical remedies in New Zealand's medical history, based on items found in the collection of the Cotter Medical History Trust. Pills & Potions is a collector's dream.
