Pharmacia Popular: Janeiro 1897

Esta farmácia foi fundada em 1895 por Pedro Nolasco da Silva, mas já antes outras tinham surgido. O anúncio é do jornal Echo Macaense. Numa leitura mais atenta consegue-se perceber a variedade de produtos que eram vendidos (medicamentos, sabonetes, perfumes, chocolates, etc...). Daí a expressão "há de tudo como na farmácia!"

  1. My father worked there from 1942, the boss was a Macanese woman pharmacist trained in Lisbon, who lived to be over 100 years old, died around 1983. She was a kind person, and let a boy refugee sleep in the storeroom at night. One morning, the kid was found strangled. It turned out that the murderer was one of the staff who was stealing drugs, and the kid got in the way. My father said that the outline of the poor child's body was somehow marked onto the stone floor and could not be removed by any chemical. Very strange, like a ghost
