چکیده

The list of contents (see below) is written by an English hand, presumably at the Royal Dispensary in London, while hurried notes in Gothic script have been added, most probably by Dr. Erichsen himself. Many of the original contents are still present, and they include most of the things usually found in chests of this type. Some items, however, were probably specially selected by Dr. Erichsen, e.g., no. 5, 'Pulv. Antispasmodic: Hall', no. 13, 'Ung Haemorhoidale pr: me', and no. 24, 'Ess. amara Hallensis'. How did this royal medicine chest find its way to a small Norwegian museum? The written notes on the back of the list of contents are signed by Niles Scythe (1727-1811). He was Erichsen's assistant in the cultivation schemes in Denmark and, after Erichsen's death, the chest came into his possession. Scythe settled in southern Norway in 1770, and the chest must have passed, directly or indirectly, from him to the prosperous Arendal family of Dedekam, for when in 1832 the Museum in Arendal was established, as the second of its kind in Norway, Mr. Morten Dedekam presented the chest as a gift.
