Farewell to a prolific pharmacist inventor

摘要

History suggests that pharmacists can be inventive,and details of a number of British pharmacist inventors can be found in a document on the museum-section of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society's website(www.rpsgb.org/museum).As the document shows,pharmacists in Britain have tended to invent things that are practical rather than frivolous.For some reason,they are particularly noteworthy for culinary-and household products.
