Note 1032 — APOTHECARIES.
William Johnston translation
“By her apothecary’s shop and still-house one may discover what real compassion the Christian-like electress showed towards the poor who were sick or infirm; for, by having medicines prepared, and by causing all kinds of waters to be distilled, she did not mean to assist only her own people and those belonging to her court, but the poor in general, whether natives or foreigners, and not for the sake of advantage or gain, but gratis and for the love of God.”—Letzners Dasselsche und Eimbecksche Chronica.—Erfurt, 1596, fol. p. 104.
