personally, I think the "bigelow chemists" name is misleading, because it doesn't lead you to think of an apothecary or pharmacy, but I suppose they chose it, because of, from the description, custom formulas and unique remedies.
Been around since 1838. Recommended if you're looking for an old-fashioned feel, which this creates.
A description, "C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries is the oldest apothecary in America, credited with making a difference in the way their customers look and feel since 1838. Not only is C.O. Bigelow a place to pick up your hand-made prescriptions, but it's also a favorite neighborhood gathering place and provider of unique and unusual personal care remedies. Remaining true to it's traditions, C.O. Bigelow transports customers back to a time and place of personalized attention, custom formulas and healing therapeutic preparations."
