1890s Strychnine Rx

A very cool 1890s prescription slip that includes strychnine. 

 Strychnine is wildly known as a lethal poison. 

Strychnine was prescribed as a stimulant for increasing appetite, increasing performance and inducing muscle and bowel contractions 

A lethal dose of strychnine causes seizures, asphyxiation and paralyzation. It's now only used in outdoor rodent killers
