Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story. Read on in this series….
Your scribe was lucky enough to have had a most wonderful and lengthy lunch with an old chum from the medical profession. It was in Black Friars, London, years ago. Your scribe’s dear old friend is a Professor in the Medical Sciences and an Apothecary extraordinaire. He is also an esteemed Member of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries of London. Lunch of course involved many courses, discourses and a post lunch trip to the wonderful Apothecaries Hall around the corner in Black Friars Lane. The Worshipful Society of Apothecaries was incorporated as a City Livery Company by Royal Charter from King James I on 6 December 1617 in recognition of apothecaries' specialist skills in compounding and dispensing medicines.
When in London a visit is a must to The Apothecaries Hall for those that have an interest in medical science history.
Today’s links were a gift after that lunch and they are a solid silver mortar and pestle, the symbol of apothecaries world wide. They are worn with tailored cotton shirt and a green Salvatore Ferragamo silk neck tie with rosemary leaf motifs.
Which brings me to the Link Man for the Day……none other than, Danny Kaye whose famous lines in The Court Jester were:
"The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle;
