Pills, Potions & Poisons: a Nantwich Apothecary's Tale: Helen Cooke
The origins and roles of apothecaries are introduced by Helen, followed by a study of a 17th century Nantwich apothecary, Raphe Walley. Walley's interesting family history is discussed briefly. Many insights into the medicines and ingredients in his shop in Town Square were uncovered following the discovery of the probate inventory of its contents. The talk explores some of the remedies he would have supplied, and how efficacious, or otherwise, they would have been.
