Ungh Hydrarg = Chlorine Hydrargyrum (Hg) which is mercury

Mercury is a highly toxic metal. It was usually used in topical ointments for skin diseases. 

Mercury poisoning mainly damages the nervous system and induces kidney toxicity. Fish and shellfish and some beauty products still have trace amounts of mercury, otherwise, now it it's only used in some industrial equipment. 

The prescriptions themselves are ~3x5 and shown in various sized vintage frames - with easel backs
