This informative work explores the role and practices of apothecaries in Williamsburg, Virginia, during the 1700s, focusing particularly on their contributions to medical care and the pharmaceutical trade of the time. The book offers insights into both the medical practices and the commerce surrounding the profession in a burgeoning colonial America. In the book, Ford delves into the transformation of medical practices from the time of Galen to the reality of the 18th century. He highlights key figures, such as George Gilmer, who exemplified the multifaceted role of apothecary-surgeons, blending their medical knowledge with commerce.
