A colonial apothecary was responsible for preparing and dispensing medicines, remedies, and herbal treatments to the community. They often combined the roles of pharmacist, doctor, and herbalist, providing healthcare advice and managing various ailments. In addition to medicinal work, apothecaries also sold a range of items, including spices, dyes, and household goods. Their knowledge of herbal medicine and chemistry made them essential figures in early American healthcare.
