What we here in the USA would call a "pharmacy", people in the United Kingdom would call the "chemist", and most people in Europe would call an "apothecary". These people stock, prepare, and sell medicines.

Before about 1900, the apothecary would create the "medicines" from herbs, leaves, oils, and essences. These concoctions were often useless or actively harmful.
