What is pharmacy?

The word «pharmacy» comes from Greek and in the modem lan­guage means «a
drug». The civilization of the past contributed to our present knowledge by the
collection of drugs and medicinal prepara­tions. Pharmacy was an integral part
of medicine when preparative pharmaceutical techniques were simple. It became
an independent branch of medicine when an increasing variety of drugs and their
com­plex compositions demanded specialists familiar with such technologies.

However, only in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries chemical
knowledge advanced to the point at which it became capa­ble to contribute
significantly to pharmacology. The first and the most important was the
isolation in relatively pure chemical form of the active constituents of
plants. For example, in 1806 Sertumer iso­lated morphine from opium. It took
man over five thousand years to make this very important step.

The industrial revolution of the last century gave birth to syn­thetic
organic chemistry and established a new branch of knowledge necessary for the
synthesis of new drugs. At present pharmacy is de­fined as the art and science
of recognition, identification, collection, preparation, storage, test,
composition and distribution of all sub­stances used in preventive or in
curative medicine for people’s treat­ment. It includes different subjects, such
as physics, chemistry, bot­any, pharmacognosy, pharmacology, etc. which
pharmaceutical stu­dents master to become highly qualified pharmaceutists.

allows them to create a character so vividly and realistically? Why don’t they look as if they are acting? One thing they all have in common is that they use a technique known as method acting. (1)________________________ It is a way of creating the emotional conditions that a character would experience in real life. An actor playing a prisoner may live in prison to experience the reality. (2) ________________ In this article we look at the history of method acting and the people who made it happen.
The name ”method acting” came from the Actors Studio and Group Theatre in New York in 1940s and 50s. (3) ___________________ He was not only a great teacher but he was also very popular with his students. Marylin Monroe, one of his favourite students, left him seventy-five percent of her estate, something that still earns his family millions of dollars each year. (4) ____________________ Konstantin Stanislavsky was using a similar idea in Russia in the 1890s. Indeed, there was one person who provided a link between the two teachers. Stella Adler worked with Strasberg and taught both Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro. She had also studied under Stanislavsky. Unfortunately, her disagreements with Strasberg eventually led to the Group Theatre breaking up.
Their disagreement was over the correct way of teaching method acting. This is one of the main problems with the technique. (5) ___________________
All of them, however, have one thing in common which is that the actors have to try to identify, in some way, with the character they are playing. The differences in opinion were mainly over whether the actors should use their own experiences to try to understand the character or whether they should approach the character with a completely open mind.
Lee Strasberg was able to use his techniques for himself in the film Godfather II. (6) _________________ The film was a personal success as Strasberg was nominated for an Oscar for his role. (7) _____________________
Strasberg died in 1982 but his ideas live on in the performances of some of Hollywood’s greatest stars.
