Legendre's Drugstore And The Creation Of Herbsaint

An important piece of history from Legendre's Drugstore, to be updated...




During the freewheeling days and nights of prohibition era New Orleans, prominent members of New Orleans society, and "unnamed political figures" staying at the Roosevelt Hotel, would often have prescriptions of Legendre's herbal and alcohol remedy delivered to their suites at the Roosevelt Hotel.



One can only imagine who might have called during prohibition for Legendre's delicious herbal remedy.
