APOTHECARY. Referred to both the person who
manufactured and dispensed medicines, and the shop in
which those medicines were sold. The appearance of the
first apothecary in history was in Baghdad in 754 AD.
Apothecaries were at their most popular throughout the
1700s but by the turn of the century, they were starting to
be outnumbered by Victorian chemists. However in the
modern age, for a few remaining establishments, the
apothecary as it was once known is all but extinct.
