Description
Vintage glass art. An "apothecary" was actually the medical professional who usually worked out of a storefront, diagnosing and dispensing remedies. These remedies were often crafted by the apothecary out of many natural substances, from herbs, animal parts, earth minerals, and ground leaves and barks. Apothecaries used leeches to "bleed" people and chinchona bark to treat fevers. Apothecaries also sold other items such as anchovies, toothbrushes, and tobacco.
