MEWS from vour 1
PHARMACIST/
By Lanier Hardman
Have you ever wondered
where the word "drug” came
from? It is derived from the
Dutch word “droog,” which
-means “dry.”
Most early
drugs were
prepared from
dried plants
and this prob
ably explains
the origin of
the term.
The interest
in drugs pro-
gressed even under the Egyp
tian, Greek and Roman civili
zations. Advancement then
was slow and clouded by mys
ticism. The actual birth of
pharmacology occurred in the
1800’s. Since then the appli
cation of scientific methods
to the discovery and use of
drugs has led us to unbeliev
able progress.
The future? No one can en
vision the great advances
which will occur. The added
years to our lives and the
health we will enjoy through
new drugs is tremendous.
Today we can expertly com
pound your doctor’s prescrip
tion. Call us—we are as near
as your telephone.
