History

Blister's Drug under previous ownership, circa 1921.

Pioneer Dentists (second floor)—closed 1922—removed 12-year-old Enid Blister's molar #14 in the Zsigmondy-Palmer teeth-numbering system, long before her family opened Blister's Drug. As a consequence of this primitive tooth removal, Enid's left cheek sagged for the rest of her life.
