<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>All universities have environmental and safety office with trained and certified technicians to handle chemical, radioactive and unknown environmental risk materials. They have proper procedures to remove the bottles and dispose of them properly. My guess is that those bottles may contain acetone, ether and possibly mercury. Do not allow anyone to handle the bottles except those on the campus, who are trained.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>I have been contacted by a librarian from a university medical library regarding some antique bottles that they have. The bottles and prescription vials that they have are from the early 1900s and have some leftover medication in them. She was inquiring how they should dispose of the contents and whether or not those substances would need to be kept for any future use. If anyone has any input or experience with this, please let me know.<o:p></o:p></P>
