About Jerry and Jimmy and the Pharmacist
Thompson, Lehmann, and Helfand
1964
Submitter: No better way to spend the day when you were a kid than getting a tour of the pharmacy by the pharmacist. Nothing like letting young kids around all those pills and drugs!
Holly: In 1964 you could get away with anything, couldn’t you? Hey, kids, let’s go to the pharmacy! These are Mr. Smith’s sciatica pills. These are Mrs. Smith’s insulin needles. Maybe someday YOU will have a raging infection and need some pills from the pharmacy! This book is old. A pharmacist’s job is much more difficult these days, what with insurance plans, Medicare, and Viagra to contend with. What’s that big red vase-thing on the cover? Some sort of chemistry experiment beaker?
