Japanese medicine through the past and present

Posted by EBISU小編 on

When I came to Minami Furano, Mr. Kobayashi, director of the Tourism Association who once let me stay at his house for a week, took me to visit the history museum in Minami Furano. In addition to the history of Minami Furano's development and development, Limen also has a corridor of time inside. The exhibition hall of the Showa era displays various items from the Showa era, ranging from electrical appliances, clothes, comics, game consoles and other items. Looking at these nostalgic items, the memories of the editor's past also emerge.

Looking at it, the editor saw several signboards, but the retro signs had familiar words written on them. They turned out to be the signboards of pharmacies and pharmaceutical factories. After a closer look, there were even those I knew! ! !

The eye drops of Rohto Pharmaceuticals, these signs are very similar to our plaques, and they are written from right to left. It can be seen that the packaging of eye drops at that time was much different from that of today.

Time flies, modern people still use Rohto eye drops, and now the most popular Rohto eye drops here are anti-blue light eye drops specially designed for long-term viewing of computers and mobile phone screens. The demand for the potion should be far beyond the imagination of the people who developed ROHTO eye drops.
Jingjingwan is a headache medicine. At that time, it was manufactured and sold by the pharmacist Takagi Yuhachiro in Meiji 28 and 1895. The name of the pharmacy is his own name.

Sun water, joint pain, neuralgia painkillers, it can be seen that painkillers are very popular before and now. Comparing the upper and lower kanbans, it can be found that they are all kanbans of Tsukagu ​​Pharmacy. These kanbans should be the advertising kanbans in the pharmacy. Did the pharmacies in the past have all kinds of wooden kanbans?


The editor checked it out, but I couldn't find any information about this Tsukagu ​​pharmacy, let alone pictures of the past interior.

Stomach medicine is also a major item in medicine, and now our store is also full of various stomach medicines.

This stomach work was developed by Tian Anmin Pharmacy in Osaka. At that time, Anmin Pharmacy proposed that the source of all diseases lies in the stomach, and gastrointestinal medicine must be a drug that everyone needs. Therefore, this stomach work medicine was developed. The preparations are famous and sales are rising. From the many stomach medicines in Japan, it can be seen that Anmin Pharmacy has a good vision. So where is this pharmacy now? Why don't you seem to have heard the name of this pharmacy now?

Don't worry, this pharmacy later established ROHTO Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., of course their stomach medicines continue to be sold in the market.

I saw a familiar name again. The towering eye drops should be seen by anyone who comes to Japan to buy eye drops. The university eye drops on this board are still on sale. They are mainly used to relieve eye fatigue and prevent eyes. Disease, do you want to try this university eyedrop that spans time and space?

Otsuka Pharmaceutical's refreshing drink, this is also on sale now. I really don't know what to promote the refreshing drink. I need to get an uncle with crooked glasses, or the current advertisement looks more energetic.

Modern Otsuka Pharmaceutical's refreshing drink advertisement has more youthful vitality~

At the same time of nostalgia, a Japanese friend told me another little story. During the Russo-Japanese War, "Seiromaru" was used as a gastrointestinal medicine by the Imperial Japanese Army attacking Russian territory. The name of the first generation was "Zhongyong Seiromaru", which was named after the conquest of the country of Lu (Russia) and the improvement of the morale of the soldiers. After that, Taiko Pharmaceutical changed its name to "Zhenglu Pill" until now. The trumpet logo of Zhenglumaru also represents the horn of the army. From the era of the Russo-Japanese War to the present, it has been loved by everyone for more than 100 years.
In addition to the drug billboard, the editor also took some interesting photos. If you have some impressions of these things, and they seem to be similar, then you should be a mature adult like Xiaobian XD
