The Life Of An Apothecary  

By Meredith Hicks

Dear Diary,

Today was a big selling day,I mostly sold medicine,tobacco,herbs and wine.I also sold medical information,soap,candles,coffee and tea.Anyway,as I went out of my home today I thought “I want this job to make money for others,but is this safe and healthy?”I am an Apothecary,a druggist or pharmacist.Most of my buyers don’t need prescriptions and i’m not a licensed or trained Apothecary.Bye for now diary.
