Lonely Planet review for New Orleans Pharmacy Museum

This beautifully preserved shop was established in 1816 by Louis J Dufilho at a time when the pharmaceutical arts were, shall we say, in their infancy. The museum claims Dufilho was the nation’s first licensed pharmacist, although his practices would be suspect today (gold-coated pills for the wealthy; opium, alcohol and cannabis for those who needed to feel better for less money).
