Cincinnati’s oldest druggist keeps faith in his store
In Cincinnati lives Jacob Stuebert, Bavarian born in 1820, who opened a drug store at Vine Street in 1840. Once thriving, his business faded as modern medicines rose, yet he still runs a small practice and keeps a stock over fifty years old, awaiting customers who rarely come. He remains active at eighty one, lamenting his era’s fading cures. The story frames a fading relic of early American pharmacy.
