Pharmacies in Puławy - from the earliest times, to the nationalization of pharmacies

Journal Title: Current Issues in Pharmacy and Medical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 25, Issue 1

Abstract

The beginnings of pharmacy in Puławy are associated with the family of the Czartoryski princes. They established the pharmacy “Pod Gwiazdą” in 1792, and Franciszek Ksawery Wasilewski, Piotr Garski and Ignacy Adam Mikołajewicz worked in it as pharmacists. The first public pharmacy in Puławy was established by Wilhelm Treutler in 1847. Wilhelm’s son, Ryszard, took it over in 1880, and in 1926, the pharmacy “Pod Gwiazdą” was purchased by Zygmunt Kwiatkowski. The second public pharmacy in Puławy was set-up by Franciszek Roch Cyfracki, who was the mayor of this city from 1916 to 1918. This pharmacy was bought by Zygmunt Gawdzik in 1936. He ran it til outbreak of the Second World War, when he returned to the colours and was murdered by the Soviets at Kharkov. The pharmacy of Adam Wachlewicz was the last pharmacy established in Puławy before the Second World War. It stayed opened continuously during and after the war and was then nationalized.
