Antique 1920s Procaine-Epinephrin Dentules Dental Anesthetic Box, Atlantic Manufacturing Corp. Brooklyn NY

An early 20th century pharmaceutical box of "Procaine-Epinephrin Dentules" No. 2, prepared by the Atlantic Manufacturing Corporation of 255 Warwick Street, Brooklyn, New York. Procaine, introduced in 1905 under the trade name Novocain, revolutionized dentistry by replacing cocaine as the standard injectable local anesthetic, and compressed anesthetic tablets like these were dissolved and drawn into the hypodermic syringe chairside. A scarce survivor of the early days of painless dentistry with handsome period typography.
