San Francisco pharmacy album
Manuscripts
A bound volume containing over 2,400 manuscript prescriptions filled by an unidentified San Francisco pharmacy. The dated and numbered prescriptions are mounted on both sides of each page, with approximately seven to nine prescriptions per page; the prescriptions are written on various billheads or plain paper issued by many different physicians. The prescriptions provide information about the doctors, surgeons, pharmacists, druggists, and patients in San Francisco during the latter part of the 19th century; among the drugs prescribed are cocaine, morphine, opium, and literally hundreds of other compounds and simples. There are a number of prescriptions written by women doctors, including Isabel Lowry, who studied medicine in Paris with her twin sister Agnes, and Tey Watanabe, who was a graduate of the University of California, San Francisco, the first Japanese physician licensed in California. With contemporary half morocco and cloth covered boards; the pages in the volume are heavily foxed with considerable oxidation on acid paper. The spine has perished, the rear cover is detached, and the front cover is mostly detached; the pages, however, remain bound and can be easily turned, although the binding is tight in several places.

This collection contains approximately 870 publications and printed items, produced by various organizations, related to hospitals, medicine, medical education, and public health, chiefly in Southern California in the 20th century. The materials were compiled as part of the library of the Los Angeles County Medical Association Collection, a professional institution designed to regulate and encourage the development of the medicine in Los Angeles. The bulk of the collection consists of programs for meetings, conventions, and congresses; annual reports for medical societies, hospitals, and medical schools; and doctor, staff, and medical student directories. In addition, there are reprints of speeches and addresses; yearbooks for medical schools; commemorative, biographical, and historical publications; some original historical documents; by-laws and founding documents; and some planning and administrative documents. The materials include items produced by nearly 200 different authors, though many organizations are represented by only a few items. There are over 140 items published by or about the Los Angeles County Medical Association. The collection also contains seven boxes of catalog cards created by the Los Angeles County Medical Association describing the materials in the collection.
