Chapter 18 Research Proposal

For my research project, I would like to research the effect of urbanization, especially the creation of catalogs, on the way that people bought drugs changed. I’d also like to research the how this impact of consumerism affected the change in healthcare and how chronic diseases were cured. Possibly the invention of the drugstores. Specifically the invention and progression of the study of pharmacy. http://www.scs.illinois.edu/~mainzv/HIST/bulletin_open_access/v28-1/v28-1%20p9-17.pdf

• treatment of diseases
• anemia, tuberculosis, asthma
