A PHARMACIST IN THE FAMILY, by Angie McCartney
“My early childhood in industrial Liverpool, UK was beset with lung problems, asthma, bouts of pneumonia etc., and I remember being tested with all kinds of remedies, but nothing really worked.
I even had a pen friend from Brazil send me a bottle of Vapo Cresolene, which you had to pour over a shovel of hot coals, obtained from the fireplace in the kitchen of our freezing little rented council house.
This filled the air with black smoke, and resulted in a violent coughing spell which brought up mucus and resulted in heaven knows how much more damage to the environment.
My Dad, Robert Stopforth, was a Compound Pharmacist, having trained in med. school in his younger years. During his military service in World War I, he served as a research chemist in the production of mustard gasses, which were used against the enemy with drastic results.
One thing he would always tell us kids was to never put anything in your body that didn’t come from God’s green earth. He created ointments, tinctures, eye drops, ear drops, lotions, and all kinds of medicaments which were eagerly snapped up by the patients at the Surgery where he worked for a dour Scottish Doctor, Dr. McAlpine, in Liverpool.
