Inspiration

Apothecaries, who were trained to diagnose, prescribe and produce treatments through an apprenticeship, acted as doctors in the 18th century. They knew little about chemistry but figured out treatments that could address certain symptoms through trial and error — and observation. Read the Trend and Tradition magazine article, "A Dose of Expertise", to learn more about interpretation at the Pasteur & Galt Apothecary Shop in the historic area.
