Hello all I have a question I hope you can help me with,
Are a druggist and pharmacist considered the same thing? or is a pharmacist just someone who dispenses premixed medicines and a druggist a person who makes there own medicine .
I just dug another bottle from a Bennington VT pharmacist named J.T. Shurtleff that was 4 inches tall embossed with a mortar and pestle and J.T. Shurtleff in a banner style script, I also dug 4 other bottles by this same guy in the usual pharmacist script in different sizes.
I know Shurtleff also made his own medicines, because I have the Shurtleff's blood and dyspepsia bitters bottle and got an e-mail from the bottle museum saying he made several medicines himself. Would the pharmacist bottles be from medicine he just dispensed and the druggist be from his own medicine?
