That word is not that notable. It's not even outdated according to Webster ([1]). Loafing 21:33, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

It's no longer in common use, meaning it's archaic. Therefore, it's notable.
Also, Wikipedia says it's "a historical term" for a pharmacist. Retromaniac 21:49, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

He's No Apothecary

I'd like to know the name of the toon with "He's no apothecary" as it's title. Retromaniac 21:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

It's actually the Toons Menu description for Mr. Shmallow. --Jay (Gobble) 21:38, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
It's been fixed, thank you.
