Abstract
Euskol incense briquettes – between the miasmatic and bacteriological concepts? Euskol incense briquettes were produced in Lubostroń. Their factory was founded in 1909 by Witold Skórzewski. It was still operating under the German occupation, in the 1940s. Euskol was used mainly for prophylactic and therapeutic purposes in veterinary and medicine. Enjoyed great and unfl agging popularity, and was exported to Western Europe. The manufacturer explained the characteristics of Euskol using bacteriological arguments. However he situated diseases in one semantic fi eld with rot. The medical context of the use of Euskol (and other incense) in the post-Pasteur period indicates a strong attachment to the miasmatic narrative.
