DO PHARMACISTS SELL FARMS?
By Vince Staten
Simon & Schuster, 240 pages, $22
Before the proliferation of Wal-Marts and strip malls, the corner drugstore–often featuring a soda fountain–served as a community hub. This intriguing and occasionally corny book (please read past the title) offers a history of the corner drugstore and its myriad products, from Bayer aspirin and Ultra Wave to Rogaine, a product the author himself tried and forthrightly evaluates.
