St. Augustine apothecary shop

[BullRunBear]

Not firearms related but historical. Today's Townsends YouTube channel had a program on the apothecary in St. Augustine, FL, the materials used, how they were prepared, and what they treated. I found it fascinating. Turns out many of the materials used in the 17th and 18th centuries are still in some use today. And except for opium and lavender, the man grew everything in his adjacent garden. Worth the 17 minutes it took to watch.

Jon Townsend puts out some great videos. He's one of my favorites.

Same lady did one last week on the Spanish hospital in St Augustine. Excellent also.
Townsend’s vids just keep getting better.
Have you seen his home stead ones. From cabin building to brick making and tools, also top notch
