Overview
This brown glass, trapezoid-shaped bottle has 'Palatinoids CS+Co. London' embossed on one side. The neck has a screw thread, although the cap is now missing. A cork stopper has fallen inside the bottle. Palatinoids were soluble casings used to preserve drugs and make them easier to swallow.
