Publisher's Note
Staten re-creates the glorious array of salves, patent medicines and mysterious lotions packed on drugstore shelves, bringing to life the trusted pharmacist who explained it all. His charming stories will stir up a host of memories: the dating rituals conducted at the soda fountain; those life-changing decisions about hair coloring; and perhaps those whispered requests for condoms.

Industry Reviews
"A lighthearted look at a fading American institution and the products found on its shelves."
Branch

"A lighthearted look at a fading institution....Intriguing."
Alessio

"[Staten] understands the fascination we have for the origins of the things we take for granted and does a good job of revealing them."
Powers

"Filled with entertaining and humorous lore. Staten does have a gift for finding pertinent anecdotes and facts."
Miller

"Rx for fun. All that's missing from Vince Staten's text is that delicious
vanilla smell that permeated the premises of real drugstores."
Los Angeles Times - Beverly Beyette
