Chronicles of Pharmacy, Vol. 2 (of 2)
A. C. Wootton and Peter MacEwan
Cow dung, powdered mummy, and man himself all had entries in the old pharmacopoeias, and Wootton refuses to look away. This second volume of his pharmacy chronicles catalogs animal substances in medicine, officially recognized and otherwise, then wanders the stranger corners of the druggist's art. Equal parts scholarship and sideshow. Browse it once and you will never romanticize the old apothecary again.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
