Insulin 3 Poster Set for Pharmacy Windows

Insulin 3 Poster Set for Pharmacy Windows

Set of three posters for pharmacy windows titled "Insulin" printed in 1954. These "ethical displays" were designed and written by Frank Pinchak, a pharmacist from Paterson, New Jersey. Published by his company Professional Advancement Plan, Pinchak sold the posters to pharmacists around the country. He donated the posters to the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy in 2013. The main poster reads: "Insulin. Discovered at Univ. of Toronto by doctors Banting & Best, 1922. Prepared from hog pancreas insulin is the life-saving hormone so vital to the severe diabetic. Pharmaceutical mass production." Side poster #1 reads: "Your pharmacy law...requires insulin to be stored between 32 and 59 [degrees] F. Vial bears expiration date." Side poster #2 reads: "Balance of food intake plus proper use of insulin allows the diabetic...to enjoy a long active life!"
