Prescription book of the Berthier Pharmacy in Paris
Volume 3: from 1953 to 1962
Volume 3 of 4 available from these official records, originating from a former Parisian pharmacy, which trace twenty-five years of medical history, from the Liberation to the 1970s. Far from being ceremonial documents, these prescription books are authentic working tools, marked by the urgency of everyday life and the evolution of pharmaceutical science.
The prescription book was the mandatory legal register in which the pharmacist had to transcribe, day after day and without blanks or deletions (in theory), all magistral preparations and medicines containing dangerous substances.
A register covering a decade of major changes in pharmacy.
We can see that the profession is changing.
While the basement laboratory was still active, more and more specialities were appearing: industrially manufactured, pre-packaged medicines. The register was then used to record the dispensing of these new products, which were subject to strict regulations.
Curious details: the handwriting became faster, and price annotations in the margins multiplied.
Each line had to include the name of the doctor, the name of the patient, the date and the exact composition of the preparation. This was because, in the event of poisoning or suspected addiction of a patient, the police or pharmacy inspectors would come to check the prescription book to see who had prescribed what. Poisonous substances are still written in red.
The first pages are authenticated by period revenue stamps and the initials of the Police Commissioner, and all pages were stamped and could not be torn out.
