Apothecary

Oh, I am running out of chives for this medicine, I better go to the garden! Oh, hello my name is Master Noah. Welcome to my shop. I am an apothecary. Let me tell you what I do.

I work very hard to make medicines for my customers.  Some of the tools I use are the mortar and pestle, mixers, graders, bottles, cups, knives, and leeches.  The three most common medicines I make are for colds, headaches and stomach aches.  For example, I take a knife or a leech on a person’s arm to take the blood out.  This is call blood letting and can cure diseases of the blood.    For hiccups and vomiting, I make a medicine by mixing two or three branches of mint and pomegranate juice with my mortar and pestle.  Or, I can mix the mint with honey water to make a medicine that cures ear pain. After I make a medicine, I put it in a jar and place it on the shelf to sell to my customers at my apothecary.  Well, I have to go to the garden to get some chives for the medicine I am making.  Thank you for coming and I bid you a good day.
