Description from the seller

Ancient dowsing kit No. 1, attributed to Alfred Lambert and published by the French Homeopathic Laboratories.

The original wooden box contains the complete set of its indicators, arranged in their respective compartments, as well as the detailed printed interior panel listing organs, substances, and indications.

Note: vial No. 20 is present but has a chip/scratch on the lower part of the glass.
