Reprint from a facebook conversation... \"I had a call this morning from a good friend in Holland who is watching the bottle. He says hes been to virtually all the Pharmacy museums in Europe and not seen another. I originally found this in Holland just sitting quietly and had a feeling it was waiting for me to find it.
