Ah yes that reminds me, not actually a pharmacist, but one of those Rottweiler Drs employ as receptionists ...
A 75-year-old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk. The Receptionist said, 'Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?'
'There's something wrong with my dick', he replied.
The receptionist became irritated and said, 'You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that.'
'Why not, you asked me what was wrong and I told you,' he said.
The Receptionist replied; 'Now you have caused some needless embarrassment in this room full of people.
You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private.'
The man replied, 'You should not ask people questions in a roomful of strangers if the answer could embarrass anyone.'
The man then decided to walk out, waited several minutes and then re-entered.
The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, 'Yes??'
'There's something wrong with my ear,' he stated loudly.
The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. 'What is wrong with your ear, Sir?'
'I can't p*** out of it,' he replied.
You could buy just about anything you wanted until 1916. There weren't any real restrictions until the 1920s, when distribution/use of morphine/heroin and cocaine were criminalised, but doctors could still prescribe them to addicts. That remained the case until the 1960s.
Newspapers and magazines in the late C19th and early C20th carried advertisements for heroin and cocaine as remedies for childhood dental pain, coughs and various other things; and childrens cigarettes were sold to ease 'lung complaints'...
