N2  - "Hong Kong Apothecary presents the fascinating graphics and tantalizing descriptions of hundreds of ointments, herbal teas, infused oils, and other medicines. It gives us an insight into Chinese culture afforded only by examining the artifacts and customs of everyday life. Many of these medicines are no longer produced, making Hong Kong Apothecary a memoir of a rapidly disappearing culture."--BOOK JACKET
