The Local Pharmacist: Member Of Health Team
As everyone knows, the physician is the number one member of the
nation’s health team. He is dedicated to preventing illnesses, if pos
sible, and treating them if they do occur. But he has a number of
colleagues in this struggle against sickness, one of the most impor
tant of whom is the local pharmacist.
uur nrst pnarmacy (apotn- <
ecary shop) was founded in New
England in 1632. Today there are
about 53,000 pharmacies in this
country, many of which sell a
variety of things needed in every
day life. But the heart of any
pharmacy, the real reason for its
existence, is the counter where
health-saving drugs are com
pounded and dispensed. This is
the final step in a chain of im
portant events which may have
started back in the research la
boratory of a pharmaceutical
company.
There are more than 100,000
professional pharmacists in this
country, all of whom are licensed
by their state to dispense drugs.
Theirs is a prime responsibility
and in order to obtain a license
the pharmacist must complete
one of the toughest college
courses. In fact, he is the only
retail businessman who is re
quired by law to have a college
education.
Pharmacy is one of the world’s
most ancient professions. Its
roots are in prehistoric knowl
edge of the uses of herbs, plants
and other natural products used
in treating illnesses. For many
centuries medicine and pharmacy
were inseparable. The break be
gan in the Eleventh Century and
since then the two have developed
into distinct branches of the heal
. ing arts.
The pharmacy of today is a
repository of life-saving and
pain-relieving drugs—such as an
tibiotics, steroid hormones, vac
cines — which are immediately
available to all. Years ago the

a prescription which is taken to
the pharmacist a few doors away.
Filling a prescription may take
five minutes, or it may take much
longer — the time is not impor
tant. The important thing is that
because of the pharmacist’s spe
cial knowledge, and his great
storehouse of chemicals and
drugs, you are able to obtain
quickly a product that is compe

pharmaceutical product in com

the best combination of health
