C. Wootton is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume delves into an extensive array of topics regarding the use of animal products and substances in historical pharmacology, illustrating the belief systems that shaped medicinal practices from ancient times through the 19th century. Wootton aims to explore and contextualize the evolution of pharmacy as a science through significant historical perspectives. The opening of this volume introduces the intriguing subject matter of animal substances in pharmacy, immediately capturing the reader's attention. It discusses the long-standing belief in the medicinal properties of animal parts, from various organs to excrements, and how these were incorporated into treatments across different cultures, including ancient Egyptians and Romans. Wootton vividly paints a picture of the practices of earlier apothecaries, recounting their reliance on remedies derived from creatures like vipers, bears, and even humans, along with bizarre concoctions made from unlikely materials, illustrating the extremes of historical medicinal practices. This fascinating exploration sets the stage for a detailed investigation into how these practices influenced modern pharmacy.
