Description
These are photographs of jars that were used to hold insulin for patients. These are some of the first jars that were used by the famous doctor Frederick Banting, who was the first person to use insulin on humans. The jars were found in what used to be the Glen Morris dump years ago. Although the exact date is unknown, it is presumed that they are from sometime between 1920-1930.
