Edirne Medical Museum Beyazit II

The pharmacy.

On a notice Celebi is quoted, who wrote [translation not mine]: “A taffy shop is opened 2 days a week and many citizens of Edirne to this health spreading place to get thousands of various medicines. The other herb kinds are not charged. Allah knows how much of piper cubeba, ginger, cardamom, liverwort confectionary preparations was delivered. Besides above the threshold of the hospital a damning notice was written, saying “If one who is healthy and takes a carat of these medicines the curse of Pharao and Karun be with him”. Allah blesses the one who has built and established this complex”.
