Pill Envelope from Dr. WagnerScope and Content
Pill envelope from Dr. Wagner. For many years Dr. Wagner had his office at 200 East Main Street in Waupun. He would perscibe then dispense the medication, often in this type of paper envelope. Sometimes if he wasn't going to be open, his nurse would put the medication in the envelope, then tape it on the door to be picked up by the person needing it. Notice that there is nothing to indicate what the medication is, this was quite common in this era of medicine, doctors gave medications but didn't bother telling the person using the medication what it was.Acquisition
