  <dc:title>Pocket Case of Homeopathic Apothecary</dc:title>
  <dc:description>This is a pocket-sized case made of faux black leather. The lid is separate from the main box. Inside, there is “The Homeopathic Guide for Family Use”, a book with a black cover and gold detailing. The box also contains 24 individual slots, lined with red velvet, each designed to hold a glass bottle of homeopathic globules made from various chemicals. Two of these slots are empty as the bottles are missing.
Each bottle is made of clear glass and sealed with a cork stopper. They each have a white label with black ink writing, indicating the name and number of the contents. The box’s lid houses a small, combined spoon and spatula for collecting and measuring the globules. The maker’s name, “Leath &amp; Ross 9, Vere Street and 5, St. Paul’s Churchyard”, is displayed on the lid. James Leath, who published “Laurie’s Domestic Medicine”, established Leath &amp; Ross, making the company the first manufacturers of homeopathic medicines in Britain.</dc:description>
