Analysis of the historical development of medicine and pharmacy in the Middle Volga region in XVI - XVIII centuries is of undoubted interest. During this period, the supply of medicine to the population was carried out mainly through herbal shops and trading rows [1-3, 7], which led to the abuse of potent and poisonous medicines. The use of local resources was extremely insignificant, medicines were mainly imported from abroad - from the West by healers, from the East by merchants (cinquefoil, rhubarb, camphor, musk, cloves, almonds, chilibukha).
