Pharmacy - Medical herbs Tissue Paper

Way back when, before the medicine was regulated, pharmacists could literally make medicine out of anything they wanted. From turpentine to pencil shavings (if they wanted to and some did, I'll let you choose which they used). What you see before you is a collection of some of the items they used. Frankly this could easily be from a chef's pantry, it mostly looks like a bunch of lawn clippings to me. I suppose there was some medicinal qualities in each one of these things, and in the right combination it might do something. Or it could be that these are merely flavourings to hide the lead and mercury flavour that was often in medicine.
