I found some histo sections from 1908.
The really surprising thing is were a microbiology lab.

Dangerous places, those. Long ago, in a galaxy far far away I did the same
thing, an found an interesting collection of typhoid isolates and a bottle
labelled "smallpox crusts" sitting in the back of a cupboard behind a 40
year collection of paperwork. How times change!

Sale them. Ebay! Under Medical Antiquities. I think the buy now price
should start at $20 + shipping. Two years ago we cleaned out one of our
chemistry cabinet draws and found a lab jacket with shopping coupons dating
from 1989.

I wanted to do just that, but management flatly refused,
That's the NHS :o)

Well, it wasn't a lab. But donkeys years ago when I was working in ENT
I rummaged through a long-forgotten ward cupboard and found a heap of
long-overlooked cocaine.
Ah, the 60s.
