he story of the pharmacy profession- how it combines an ancient heritage with the complex technical skills of tomorrow, how it works for better community health, how it probes deep into the mysteries of the future to bring miracles to today- all this was told and retold during National Pharmacy Week, October 2- 8. It was told through displays in pharmacy windows, in hospitals, in colleges and in public centers; through television and radio programs; through newspaper advertisements and stories ; through personal contacts and through the service of the pharmacist himself.
