Highlights

A funny pharmacist gift with a Revolutionary War twist: the chibi storybook-watercolor Hugh Mercer, in his general's uniform with a mortar and pestle, says "Fled Scotland. Opened a pharmacy. Became a general."

A funny, cute Hugh Mercer gift for a pharmacist, a pharmacy tech or student, a doctor, a Scottish-American or a history buff.

THE STORY BEHIND IT
Hugh Mercer, a Scottish-trained doctor, served as a surgeon with the Jacobite army at Culloden in 1746 and then fled to America. In Fredericksburg, Virginia, he ran an apothecary shop and medical practice and became a friend of George Washington, and in June 1776 the Continental Congress made him a brigadier general.
