On 25 January 1872, the 167 ton brig Maria passed through Sydney Heads, carrying 76 adventurers to the Fly River and the goldfields of New Guinea. After a painfully slow journey north in the unseaworthy and leaking vessel, squalls drove the ship onto Bramble Reef about 50 kilometres east of Cardwell on February 26. Using hastily constructed rafts and whatever else would float, the survivors eventually came ashore some 10 kilometres north of the Johnstone River in North Queensland. After many trials and tribulations 34 survivors were rescued and returned to Sydney aboard the HMS Basilisk (Capt Moresby RN). Among those on this ill-conceived quest for riches was Thomas Ingham, a chemist.

Apart from under unusual circumstances, such as those caused by natural flooding as a result of unseasonable rain pharmacists today have little problem with water: they just turn the tap and there it is--water suitable for drinking and most dispensing purposes. Peter Homan, honorary secretary of the British Society for the History of Pharmacy, takes a look at a time when things were not so simple.

I recently purchased the pharmacy container (illustrated) from an antique dealer friend who had kept three of these tins for 20 years intending to convert them into lamp bases. Fortunately I persuaded him to sell them to me rather than being hacked up. The other two are labeled 'BETT. RT PUL' 'LUNGWORT'. (All three are similarly painted, lidded tins and all stand 13 inches high, with a diameter of seven inches.) The label 'MANDRAKERT' immediately conjured up two impressions, firstly my boyhood reading of Mandrake the magician comics, and secondly a strong interest to research the story behind this 19th century tin's mystical contents.
