Foreword:
Grassroots cooperation among pharmacists has found its most effective expression through state pharmaceutical associations. Most such associations were formed during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Usually they consisted of an ambitious minority of the “retail druggists” in a state. A pharmacist sensed that his practical interests were not likely to be served most effectively by the kind of urban local associations that had resulted from the earliest attempts by American pharmacists to organize, beginning in the 1820s. It also seemed unlikely that the American Pharmaceutical Association alone, which had been founded in 1852, could deal adequately with such diverse conditions of practice as prevailed among the individual states of the United States of America. The APhA itself recognized the need to organize at the state level and encouraged the founding of state associations wherever and whenever it could.
This movement got well under way during the 1870s, but it was during the 1880s that more than half of the state pharmaceutical associations were founded. As in so many other social and political developments, Wisconsin neither marched in the avant garde nor waited to be last. Wisconsin pharmacists organized in 1880, as did pharmacists in the nearby states of Illinois, Iowa, and Kansas, Now more than a century has passed, which permits some perspective on what the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association has done and has contributed to the life of the state and its pharmacists.
To capture that perspective, the Association was fortunate to find an author as knowledgeable in both pharmacy and history as Eunice Bonow Bardell. The book before us, a systematic and well documented account, tells a great deal that we did not know before about Wisconsin pharmacy through the decades. It will be read with profit and will serve as a durable record of the first century of organized endeavor among Wisconsin’s. pharmacists.
Professor Bardell has to her credit a long series of contributions to the history of pharmacy in this state and country, but none as monumental as her present work, a proverbial labor of love—inspired by her two remarkable mentors, Edward Kremers and George Urdang. The Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association itself is to be complimented on its part in bringing her work into print. The Wisconsin Showglobe gracefully reflects the image of what organized pharmacists in the state have been and have become. Moreover, it adds to the mosaic of historical evidence from the states that will permit us to speak more confidently about historical trends in American pharmacy at large. University of Wisconsin
