ABOUT THE COVER

Sierra Sacramento Valley Medicine - Vol. 51 / No. 3 - May / Jun 2000

This cover is the third in a series featuring medical artifacts from the Medical Society's collection. This photo features early patent medicines, advertising postcards and a collection of compounds for the physician's bag. One of the more interesting bottles in the photo is Upjohn Company's "Heroin Compound - Green Cough Syrup," consisting of heroin, chloroform, cannabis, tarter emetic, lobelia and alcohol. Some of these items are from the private collection of Robert LaPerriere, MD, Chairman of the SEDMS Historical Committee
