Loose prescriptions and a newspaper clipping, 1909

In the first box, the prescriptions scrapbook contains 1,938 written prescriptions dated between 1897 and 1899. There are up to five prescriptions pasted on each page - most of them are from the pharmacist F.H. Caldwell from North Yamhill, Oregon. The loose prescriptions - all written by various pharmacists - are contained in a folded piece of paper dated 1909. A newspaper clipping pasted to a small print of the Exchange National Bank in Spokane, WA is undated and describes the health benefits of drinking a glass of hot water before breakfast every morning. The second box in the collection contains 21 medicinal bottles, 4 tins and one empty box of salts. Some of the bottles still contain tablets or liquids.
