Pharmacists gave first aid to the injured who came to drugs stores seeking care almost immediately following one of the worst disasters in Canadian history, the Halifax Explosion. ispensing Aid tells the stories of these druggists, the care they provided, the narrow escapes and the unexpected roles they played. The common medications of a hundred years ago are identified and their usage described, using actual cases from doctors' records. A unique perspective of an unforgettable time in Halifax's history. Mary MacCara is a pharmacist who recently retired from a 34-year career as a faculty member of the Dalhousie University College of Pharmacy. Includes bibliographical references and index.
