Vaccine Containers

This illustration from the textbook "Naika hiroku" by Honma Sōken, physician of Mito domain, shows a bandage, a vaccination lancet, and two containers used for vaccines in Japan in the 1860s. The glass bottle on top was intended for storing dried scabs, whereas the tin was intended for fresh lymph or solutions of dried lymph. 

For more detail on these and other containers, go to the pathway "The Vehicles of Long-Distance Transmission."
