"My grandparents,
Bruno & Rosario Lioi

Catherine Lioi Seminazzi Mancuso
. My brother
John Seminazzi
is pictured below right in front of the sign."

"Before 1930, the pharmacist left but the owner continued to sell medications over the counter. There was a large jar on the marble counter containing leeches. My father had a nose bleed and because it was thought blood pressure could be reduced by losing blood, he purchased two leeches and placed them on his neck; the leeches dropped off after gorging themselves on his blood."
