Dr. Edward Krcmei s of Wiscon
sin Pharmacy College Writes
Interesting Article.
Contrast between the ancient
apothecary shop and the modern
drug store is well brought out by a
recent article, "The Apothecary Shop
of the Castle Issogne," by Dr. Ed
ward KrenKrs 01' the Wisconsin
College of rharmacy.
Students Interested In the fine
modern displays exhibited in connec
tion with rharmacy Week have
found the article especially interest
ing. It follows:
Behind the raised desk sits a physi
cian who is figuring.
During the middle ages the physi
cian was also apothecary, hence his
presence in the apothecary shop Is
to be expected. The flowing robe
with the cap that covers the ears are
his characteristic costume, such as
may repeatedly be seen in miniatures
of the fifteenth century also in wood
cuts of the sixteenth century. To
the right of the physician t lie as
sistant weighs out a medicament or
spice for the lady who has just step
ued into the booth. The boxes which
rest on the counter next to the as
sistant contain 'such articles as are
more frequently demanded for
mouth and stomach. To the right
an old man in ragged garb is occu
pied with comminuting somethinp
hard in a mortar with a mighty
pestle.
In the rear, on heavy shelving, are
numerous pharmaceutical containers,
the .fiothie lalls of which, l'eveal
their content. On. the lower shelf
are found all sorts of medicinal
waters such as aria melisse and Aqa
absinctis which are known even to
day. The upper shelves reveal
painted pots and cans with a variety
of contents.
From the arched ceiling there are
suspended a number of articles only
a few of which can be identified
with difficulty; also others that we
no longer seek in an apothecary
shop, such as long candles, round
decorated cakes, sugared bread, etc.
in harmony with these are the con
tents of boxes: dates ana cnni."l
fruits exhibited on the small desk to
the right. These were much liked as
delicacies during the middle aces and
are today a specialty of Italian con
fectioners. The round and oval
wooden boxes arel ined with white
paper with fringed borders, like the
boxes imported at the present time
from Italy, with candied, semitropi
. cal fruits.
On the highest shelves of the rear
wall are numerous closed boxes from
under the covers of which the same
kind of fringed paper projects and
which presumably contain the same
delicacies. It becomes apparent that
the apothecary shops of that period
did not take a back seat to our own
with regard to the multiplicity of ob
jects with which they wanted, to
make a living.
That they were as high priced as
those of today may possibly be in
ferred from the appreciable sizo or
the coin which the purchaser, with
a surprised expression, offers to the
assistant.

PHARMACY DRUG PLANT
GARDEN FURNISHES
MANY CRUDE DRUGS
(Continued From Page One.)
soeds are surrounded by a corky ma
terial and by soaking them in dilute
hydrochloric acid for a few hours the
time for germination may be hurried
by several weeks. Calabar beans re
quire normally two years to germln
ate but by filing the hard shell sur
rounding it the time may be short
ened to a few weeks.
Among the plants which it has
been determined may be raised suc
cessfully by the ordinary gardener in
the middlewost, are the mints, pep
permint, and spearmint; digitalis,
hanbane, purgative ruhrbarb, hydras
tis, lavender, Indian hemp, and stra
monium. Dr. Piatt of the Harvard Medical
School conducted an exhaustive re
search on digitalis from different
sections of the country and in his
repprf, he divided the Winds ffrom
different parts of U. S. into three
groups. At the head of group number
one he placed the difiitalis from Nebraska.
Aside from being a novel project
the garden is a distinctive addition
to the campus landscape.
The difficulties to the successful
cultivation on the campus are many
and varied. The purgative rhubarb
is stolen nearly every year by per
sons who are evidently ignorant ol
its medicinal properties. Small hoys-
pull up the stalks which carry the
labels, sail their boats in the pool,
and throw their dogs in for a swim.
This kills out many of the water
plants and destroys by tramping on
them many other plants. During the
World War when the Students' Army
Training Corp was using NebrasK:
iall for barracks, the embryo so
dlers used the belladona and digitalis
plants to hang their DianKeis on i
dry. This killed most of the plants.
The garden has attracted nation
wide attention, several articles have
appeared together with pictures of
the garden in several popular scien
tific publication such as the "Popular
Mechanic," and "The Scientific
American."
Thotographs are taken by the stu
iiAnt. nf individual plants as they are
growing. All the work incident to
the photographs such as printing, de
veloping, and enlarging is done pi
the college. These photographs as
well as the crude drugs, arc pie
served and used to show the de
of the drug from the time
It Is first planted until It is put on
the market as a commercial product.
