Apothecary to the Household
[clarification needed] The Apothecary to the Household was originally responsible for providing medicine to members of the Royal Household; a separate officer, the Apothecary to the Person, ministered to the Sovereign.[1] From the Restoration until 1727, a single Apothecary to the Household was appointed.[2] For the next century, two or occasionally three individuals jointly held the office.[1] The joint appointments came to an end on the resignation of Claudius du Pasquier in 1879.During the earlier Stuart era, the Apothecary to the Household was also entitled to riding wages and sometimes lodging.
