Brass Folder - Prior to the invention of tablets, many medicines
were supplied as powders and this practise continued well into the
20th century. To pack these neatly, the pharmacist used a brass folder.
This enabled the pharmacist to make folds in the paper the exact length
required to hold the powder. The neatness of the presentation of the
medication was paramount, especially in the 19th century. |
