The Olde Apothecary

Years before the Walgreens, Rite-Aids and CVSs there was the
corner drug store.....A man went to school, learned how to
become a pharmacist and when he made enough money, at
his chosen profession, he would buy or open a small drug
store.....(It was not a female profession back then.)......

It was common place to go to the local druggist, if you had
a cold or sore throat....He would look you over good and give
you some medication.....If he determined that you were a little
sicker than you thought, he would recommend that you see
your local doctor, who had an office down the street......

Well things have not changed that much.....A large local, non-
corporate, pharmacy has decided to open a little clinic
within its doors to handle the basic cold and sore throat......
I suspect that it will also bring some extra revenue into the
business but it's nice to see the olde days back again......

Never can tell, one of these days, the condoms will be behind
the counter and only dispensed by the druggist again......
Talk about birth control, the shear fear of asking someone
else for a condom was enough "birth control"......Pumps
