https://doi.org/10.4467/0023589XKHNT.18.019.9510Chemical-analytical laboratory of the Warsaw Pharmaceutical Society was established in 1897. In the laboratory, chemical (i.a. into pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs, physiological analyses) and bacteriological research was conducted and also didactic classes were given. There were also attempts to take up scientific activities.
The purpose of this work is to present the Society’s activities and people, who headed them and tried to counteract the growing problem of adulteration of pharmaceuticals and foodstuffs, as well as to develop the basis of pharmaceutical knowledge in the difficult time for this profession – at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries – when in practice the knowledge gained during studies turned out insufficient.

Some of these studies were of an intervention nature – they were to clarify the then-current issues related to drug counterfeiting of medicines and food adulteration as well as drinking water control. Other research served to expand pharmacy knowledge. These tests were carried out by Michał Białobrzeski and Stanisław Weil.

https://doi.org/10.4467/12311960MN.22.002.16210Before the effective methods of treatment and prevention of plague infections and all other infectious diseases were known, attempts were made to treat them with natural means. The effective in the treatment of blight, among others were considered the following plants: angelica (Angelica archangelica), valerian (Valeriana officinalis), pimpinella, (Pimpinella sp.) common tormentil plant (Potentilla erecta), and also onion and garlic. Knowledge about medicinal plants was gathered in herbaria. The largest Polish Renaissance herbarium was the Zielnik by Szymon Syreniusz, published in Krakow in 1613. This work describes over 800 plants, only some of them were used against the plague.
The aim of the work is to investigate which medicinal plants were indicated by Syreniusz as effective means in combating the pestilential air, what properties were assigned to them and how they were be used.
