I think the PowerPoint material was not entirely useful in presented information concerning the early pharmacy in the United States. It fails to mention how the advancement of this practice was slower in comparison to other European states. In addition, it did not expound on the government’s restrictions on regulating pharmaceutical roles in the medical industry. However, the PowerPoint tried to sufficiently present the information through images gathered in the colonial period (McCarthy and Emeritus, 2016). It served as a satisfying proof of the sources of information in the material since a reader could easily visualize the situation during that time. Nonetheless, I think the content should have examined more aspects of the early pharmacy in America, such as the influences of women, British and non-British traditions.
