Merz Apothecary

In 1875, Peter Merz, a Chicago pharmacist, opened Merz Apothecary on the city’s North Side. Merz Apothecary is Chicago’s premier destination for holistic and homeopathic wellness. We also offer an unparalleled selection of natural health and beauty products from around the world. In a way, it was not much different than the other corner drugstores which existed in every American neighborhood and town at the time. It was a place to fill prescriptions and, more importantly, it was a source of information and remedies for common ailments. The pharmacists were consulted like family doctors and they would hand mix formulas for each customer’s specific conditions and problems.
