They portray Community Pharmacies from 1836 to 2002; Hospital Pharmacies of 1864 and 1924; Chain Pharmacies in 1901 and 1942; the Prescription Drug Industry from 1856 to 2002; the Patent Medicine Industry in 1888; a Pharmaceutical Wholesaler in 1875; and the impact of the American Soda Fountain. This presentation was prepared expressly for the American Pharmaceutical Association Sesquicentennial meeting held March 15-19, 2002, in Philadelphia, and each attendee at the History session in Nice will receive a 24-page booklet that reproduces all 22 illustrations in full color.
