Description
This box of heart-shaped children's pills was used by Kenneth E. Dore, a family physician in practice from 1938 to 1974.
Emily Dore Fletcher, his daughter, recalls, "He had a huge black bag and when you opened it a row of brightly colored pills, like candy, popped right out at you. My father had a key to Bill Oliver's pharmacy. He would just go in and take what he needed."
