First published in 1487, Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of Witches) is one of the most notorious and misogynistic of all works on witchcraft. It includes a section that details “why women engage in sorcery more than men do.”
I finally got a proper IR filter to start working with my stock pile of Infrared film. However the film is far expired. So the results were well interesting.

If you're a fan of the Film Photography Project you'll know that they recently released their own Monobath! Well I finally got around to testing out the bottle I was sent and when I pulled out the first roll from the tank, I'll have to say I am pretty impressed! Though I did notice that the film base stayed that lovely TMAX purple, but the images speak for themselves! Wow!

Apothecary Museum
In 1993, our turn-of-the-century apothecary was created to complement the school’s museum, further illustrating the evolution of the field of pharmacy in the US from the late 1700s to the mid-1900s. The Apothecary also serves to preserve various pharmaceutical artifacts from Western New York and its surrounding areas—many of these items were donated by alumni
Apothecary and Historical Exhibits
As part of the first and oldest public school of pharmacy in New York State, the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences Museum of the University at Buffalo is an important component of education not only for the school’s students, but also for alumni, the Western New York community, and visitors from throughout the world who have an interest in the earlier methods of pharmaceutical care.
History
The Museum was created in 1986 to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the school. In 1993, a turn-of-the-century “apothecary” was created to adjoin the museum and further illustrate the practice of pharmacy in the U.S., focusing on the period between the late 1700s until the mid-1900s. This education continues as the museum and is further opened to the public through a series of displays throughout the school.
The Apothecary and Exhibits also serve to preserve various artifacts from the history of pharmacy and the practice of medicine in Western New York and the surrounding areas. These actions also support the effort to promote the field of pharmacy in the provision of health care.
Collection
The focus of the Apothecary and Historical Exhibits highlights pharmaceutical care, primarily, but not limited to, Western New York. Unique items which will provide education in this area are sought, particularly those which possess meaning to the history of the School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the University at Buffalo and/or its alumni. Additional artifacts may be added based upon their relationship to the existing collection.
Reference
University and school historical reference questions are welcome, and should be addressed to the Apothecary Exhibits Director.
Celebrating 25 Years
In 1993, our Apothecary was opened to provide visitors with the immersive experience of an early 1900s pharmacy.

Individual and small group tours are available. We also can provide half-day educational tour sessions for classes and youth groups in conjunction with the Robert L. Brown History of Medicine Collection in the University at Buffalo’s Health Sciences Library and other health science museums and exhibits on campus.
Historical Exhibits
The Apothecary, as well as the Historical Exhibits throughout the school display a wide range of products which were used to treat a variety of illnesses. In the front of the Apothecary, a revolving piece focusing on a health awareness area is also presented.
Prohibition Products
The 18th Amendment to the US Constitution had an effect on some medicinal products, including what is now known as “patent medicine.” One of the more popular items of this exhibit is a non-refillable National Prohibition Act Prescription Blank on which a physician could use to prescribe alcohol.
Tax Collection Stamp
A special tax stamp issued by the US Internal Revenue Service and purchased by a pharmacy to participate in the retail sales of products containing opium, coca leaves and related ingredients. The stamp was required to be displayed for all to see in the facility.
Medicine Creation Display
Set up on an actual working bench from an early 1900s pharmacy, the medicine creation display contains a variety of tools including a ledger from the late 1800s, a pill roller, tiles and spatulas, a pill coater, pill finishers, suppository molds and presses, emulsifiers, and cutters used in creating medicines prior to the period of mass manufacturing.
Wolfish Container Collection
A member of the Pharmacy Class of 1958, Maurice Wolfish was an avid collector of pharmacy memorabilia. Upon his death, his family donated his compilation to the Apothecary for preservation.
Traveling Herbal Cart
An integral component of pharmacy education involved the study of botanicals. Students were expected to be proficient in knowledge related to plants used in the creation of medicine. The Apothecary contains a mobile cart which was employed for instruction in this area. The cart contains 144 tin containers of herbal samples which are identified by their common name, botanical name, natural order, habitat and the part of the plant that was used.
Cigarettes for Asthma
A popular item in the Museum is Dr. R. Schiffmann’s Asthmador Cigarettes for asthmatics. The cigarettes, sold until the early 1960s, contained stramonium and belladonna, which were viewed as a respiratory decongestant and a muscle relaxant, respectively. The cigarettes were later favored by individuals for their hallucinogenic qualities. By the late 1960s, reports of poisonings multiplied and they ceased to exist.
Western New York Items
The Apothecary and Historical Exhibits contain many products which were made in Buffalo and other parts of Western New York. Some of these items include Doan’s Tonic Tablets, Charles A. Dref’s Whooping Cough Remedy, Gino Pills, Hutch Tablets, Dr. J.D. Kellogg’s Asthma Remedy, Perry’s Original Hed-Ache Capsules, Peterson’s Ointment, and Dr. Sullivan’s Vegetable Compound.
Medical Tools
A number of items from our collection can also be viewed as part of the Robert L. Brown History of Medicine Collection in the Health Sciences Library which is located in Abbott Hall.
Memorial Hall Tower
It was for generations the focus of Harvard life… Even the townspeople were beholden, for anyone who lived within a quarter mile could see the face of one of the clocks and hear the tolling of the quarter hour.
—Bainbridge Bunting, Harvard An Architectural History
The tower was the last portion of Memorial Hall to be completed. When the building was formally turned over to the Corporation in 1877, the tower soared an impressive one hundred ninety-five feet but was far less ornate than as depicted in the architects final rendering of the building.
In 1878, Ware and Van Bunt were fortunate to have the opportunity to modify the tower design with the addition of dormers, pinnacles, and more elaborate cresting.
The most dramatic change to the tower came in 1897 when the class of 1872, upon the occasion of their twenty-fifth reunion, provided funds for an ornate clock tower.
In 1945, the copper detail and iron cresting were removed from the tower, presumably as part of a metal drive for the second world war. In 1956, the top portion of the tower was lost in a fire that was reportedly ignited by a welder’s torch during maintenance, reducing the overall height of the building by one third and eradicating the building’s great pyramidal shape.
Gifts from Katherine B. Loker and other friends of the University facilitated the reconstruction of the tower in 1999. Historic preservationists supported the architectural team of Childs Bertman Tsekares in a design that reflects the “clockless” tower of 1878. On May 14, 2000, at a ceremony dedicating the reconstructed tower, Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Jeremy R. Knowles reflected, “At last, Memorial Hall has grown again, and can have the effect that Henry James wrote about in The Bostonian: ‘It looked significant; it covered a large area, and it sprang, majestic into the winter air.’”

I don't often go into a roll of film utterly unsure of what I will get, but here we are. And you know, I love these results; if you want that traditional Infrared look, then you certainly are getting it here. But the best part is that I achieved it using only a deep red filter, not a true IR filter! The images present deep, rich contrast and excellent sharpness, with reasonable control of visible grain.

Gifford was a preacher in Essex at the height of some of the most intense witch persecution in the British Isles. A moderate skeptic, he believed that the devil did not need witches to work evil, and that the authorities’ obsession with witch hunts diverted them from the real problem. This is the second major book in English on witchcraft.

As Lord Advocate of Scotland, Mackenzie was instrumental in the decline of Scottish witchcraft convictions and executions. He was critical of unwarranted prosecution: “I condemn next to the Witches themselves, those cruel and too forward judges, who burn persons by thousands as guilty of this crime.”

Weyer, a physician and scholar, was one of the first important critics of witch hunting. Relying on both legal and medical arguments, he questioned the reality of witchcraft, arguing that witch trials were seriously flawed. His book was a best seller, but it attracted few converts to his position. Weyer was forced into exile after its publication, when the book was placed on the Catholic Index of prohibited books.
