Description
For your consideration I am offering an exceedingly rare ginormous ledger from the Hugh Ballard City Drug Store once located in Gainesville,Florida. This ledger contains hundreds and hundreds of hand-wriiten prescriptions by the pharmist and doctors of Hugh Ballard. In reality its a 'Who's Who' of Gainesville and Alachua County. The pasted in prescriptions by large are from the 1880's and contain every concoction both good and questionable. If you are a Florida collector or just an early medical historian...or both...this is your Holy Grail.
Here are just a few of the inserations pasted in this ledger.
