From the earliest days of the Americans colonies the apothecary has
been a central place in community life. It was there that people
went for the herbs and medicines that could heal their illnesses
and soothe their aches and pains. In some ways it still is. In the
first comprehensive, full-color treatment of the subject, this new
book looks at the antiques and collectibles that have grown out of
the apothecaries, pharmacies, and drug stores of America. From
apothecary jars to patent medicines, mortar and pestle to leech
jar, the tools and products of the stores are illustrated in full
color. In addition, the soda fountain, an important part of any
drugstore, is covered with its dispensers, dishes, and furniture.
For anyone who has ever had an ice cream soda at one of these
counters, the images in this book should bring back fond memories.
Thousands of items are illustrated in Drugstore and Soda Fountain
Antiques in full color, with informative captions and text. A price
guide is included.
