Welcome to today's video.
This time we got our hands on this historic device from the field of pharmacy.
Before I tell you what this device was used for, let's talk about the history of pharmacy.
The Czech pharmaceutical industry has a long and rich history.
In prehistoric times, magicians worked in the tribes, who used medicinal plants from which they prepared potions and various ointments.
This field then moved forward in ancient Greece.
First I will mention Hippocrates, he created the theory of the balance of 4 basic body juices, from which the division of temperaments into categories is based.
-Sanguine (blood)
-Choleric (bile)
-Phlegmatic (phlegm)
-Melancholic (black bile)
He also described pulmonary and bone tuberculosis, diphtheria and other diseases.
Today's Hippocratic Oath is also based on his set of ethical rules for the conduct of doctors.
Galen was also based on Hippocratic medicine.
He dealt with the quality of medicines and came up with original recipes.
He also believed that only those who understood them could work with them.
However, the so-called spicers, of whom there were many in Greece, were not guided by these ideas.
They thought that the more substances they mixed, the more effective the medicine would be.
And so they offered the so-called "theriak", which consisted of up to 50 medicines and was used as a panacea.
This gave rise to the infamous Dryak.
The Renaissance brought further development.
It first took the form of alchemy.
One of the alchemists, Paracelsus, who came from Switzerland, was able to perfect the distillation apparatus and was able to produce chemical medicines of an inorganic nature.
Thus, inorganic chemistry was born.
In Europe, monastic pharmacies began to emerge, which were only for a limited number of patients, and public pharmacies were also created, which were led by a so-called revisor.
Pharmacists as such began to rule only at the beginning of the 19th century, when they managed to isolate the substance morphine from opium and this led to the industrial production of chemical drugs.
We still know some of them today.
It is, for example, the so-called aspirin, which was isolated in 1896 and is the oldest synthetically prepared medicine.
In the 20th century, pharmacy moved forward very quickly.
Serums, vaccines and also antibiotics were created.
In 1928, penicillin was introduced to the world and began to save thousands of lives.
And in 2000, the entire human genome was read, and new biotechnological drugs are being created.
The story of pharmacy does not end here either, and I believe that we will see more wonderful discoveries.
You are probably still wondering what the purpose of this device was?
It was used to press suppositories and we will show it now.
