Next to the cabinet is the pharmacist's workplace, kind of a bureau of drawers with doors and lockers. On the working surface of bureau, pharmacist's scales, mortar and pestle, prescription, pharmacy shop rounds without stoppers, and other containers with substances are placed in a businesslike disorder.
