First edition, in the original German, of a pharmaceutical history by the German apothecary Hermann Schelenz (1848-1922). His "voluminous history of pharmacy presents such a treasury of information that the [present] original edition was reprinted after more than a half century (1961) (Sonnedecker).
Some annotations in pencil on title-page and a minor waterstain in the lower margins of last leaves. Overall in very good condition. G. Sonnedecker (ed.), Kremers and Urdang's history of pharmacy, p. 388.
