Medieval European pharmacy offers cure for broken hearts!
February 13th, 2010 - 5:26 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, February 13 (ANI): A pharmacy in Estonia, which opened its doors in 1422, claims to have a wonder drug for those struggling with broken hearts.
The Raeapteek drug store, in the capital of Tallinn, alleges one dose of its almond-based concoction, priced at just one euro, can fix the “love pain”.
“Since the Middle Ages a special marzipan prescription has been prepared and sold here for the heart to relieve the pain of love,” the Telegraph quoted Ulle Noodapera, a pharmacist at the drug, as saying.
She added: “We keep making the special marzipan because the need for such a medicine has continued over the centuries, and patients with symptoms of love pain keep turning up seeking the cure.” (ANI)
