Witraż pochodzi z jednej z wrocławskich aptek, dla której około 1900 roku wykonał go warsztat witraży Adolfa Seilera we Wrocławiu. W centralnym punkcie witraża znajduje się moździerz aptekarski, wokół którego rozmieszczono rośliny lecznicze: tojad (Aconitum L.) pokrzyk wilczą jagodę (Atropa belladonna L.), mak lekarski (Papaver somniferum L.) oraz naparstnicę purpurową (Digitalis purpurea L.).

Rośliny przedstawione na witrażu należą do grupy roślin zawierających silnie działające substancje lecznicze, takie jak alkaloidy i glikozydy. Odkrycie i wyizolowanie z roślin czynnych substancji leczniczych o silnym i skutecznym działaniu było szczytowym osiągnięciem „złotego wieku aptekarstwa”, za jaki uważa się przełom XVIII i XIX wieku. Pierwszym alkaloidem wyodrębnionym w roku 1803 przez Fryderyka Wilhelma Sertürnera była morfina, otrzymana z opium, czyli wysuszonego soku mlecznego z niedojrzałych makówek maku lekarskiego. W I połowie XIX wieku wyodrębniono z roślin również takie alkaloidy, jak strychnina, chinina, kofeina, atropina, które do dzisiaj są używane w medycynie.

The aconite from the stained glass window and the “Herbarium” by Szymon Syreniusz
Among the medicinal plants preserved on the stained glass, which can be seen in the Museum of Pharmacy of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow, there is an aconite specimen with a blue inflorescence, which, according to Greek mythology, grew out of the saliva of Cerberus guarding the gates of Hades. What does another exhibit in the collection of WMM – Herbarium by Szymon Syreniusz – say about it?

Among the medicinal plants preserved on the stained glass, which can be seen in the Museum of Pharmacy of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, there is an aconite specimen with a blue inflorescence, which, according to Greek mythology, grew out of the saliva of Cerberus guarding the gates of Hades. What does another exhibit in the collection of WMM – Herbarium by Szymon Syreniusz – say about it?
Like any medicinal plant (in this case with analgesic properties), it can also be a dangerous poison, already known in antiquity and readily used in the Middle Ages (hence the names: wolf’s bane, queen of poisons). Some of its varieties are extremely noxious, while others have a beneficial effect and can be an antidote in small amounts.
How to protect oneself against the effects of the plant if someone is already suffering and will have recognized the following symptoms?
“Sudden dizziness (...), pulling off the jaw, biting in the stomach regions, blinded eyes, redness and inflammation thereof. And soon trembling befalls the members and all of the body, followed by heaviness in the breast and under the ribs (...). Whoever should such signs discern on the body needs to resort to forcing vomits. Apply gruel made from rue, marjoram, wormwood and other herbs belonging to this kind. Lye with rum, in which the hen [chicken] was brewed, ought to be drunk. The beverage from stewing beef horns in wine, should be gulped too”.[1]
We truly hope that the above instructions will not be used in practice by anyone, and that the action of the aconite itself will be experienced only by contact with WMM exhibits, costume films and literature.
