Praise for
Drugstore Memories:
"This book is a view from the ground of health care
in the United States in the period bewteen 1824 and 1933. The text consists entirely of
'unpolished and unexpurgated' quotations from 59 practicing pharmacists....
This book should interest both the specialist and the non-specialist. Within the limitations of a
mulitauthored work written from 'the ground,' it offers a good and often
charming view of pharmacy (with a glimpse of medicine and sociology) as it was
practiced in the 19th and early 20th centuries, before the profound changes
that occured after the Second World War."
