Description: | RECTIFIED SPIRIT OF WINE.
W. WILKINSON, (FROM SAVORY & MOORE, LONDON,) PHARMACEUTICAL CHEMIST, CHEETHAM HILL, MANCHESTER.
Glass bottle with glass stopper. Empty. Label: 'Rectified Spirit of Wine. W. Wilkinson, from Savory & Moore, London Pharmaceutical Chemist, Cheetham Hill, Manchester'. Contained in the wooden medicine chest with brass plate on the lid inscribed 'Sir Edward Parry' lined with red velvet. Once contained Rectified Spirit of Wine or Spiritus Rectus. Most likely alcohol or an alcoholic solution used to dissolve other materia medica to make tinctures. I.e. in A dictionary of practical medicine, Volume 2, ?Appendix of Formulae ? Tinctura?, 1833, p. XXIV, we find a recipe for Spiritus Therebinthinatusm used in jaundice, requiring, amongst others, Spirit. Vini Rect. - spirit of wine (something similar is still used in another form in medicine today, namely rectified ethyl alcohol).
