LA FARMACIA PARIS.

Durante la década de los 40, en la Ciudad de México, la gente solía acudir a los boticarios cuando se sentía mal o padecía de algún tipo de enfermedad. Ahora, a estas personas se les conoce como "farmacéuticos", y pese a que las recetas médicas han cambiado bastante desde aquellos días, siempre queda un pedazo de nostalgia en las farmacias clásicas, sobre todo, en las del Centro Histórico.

Tal es el caso de la Farmacia París, un establecimiento que se ubica en lo que fuera un noviciado para monjes agustinos de la Nueva España. El lugar abre sus puertas el 28 de febrero de 1944, con la misión de atender a los vecinos que buscaban curar sus males.

Se trata de una empresa que fue fundada por el químico farmacéutico Ignacio Merino Martínez, quien rentó el local que se encontraba disponible en la esquina donde se juntan las calles de 5 de febrero y República de El Salvador. Cabe mencionar, que esta botica comenzó sus jornadas con solamente cinco empleados, y actualmente son más de 600 los que atienden día con día a los más de 20 mil de capitalinos los 365 días del año.

Aquellos que solían visitar asiduamente la botica podrán dar fe de que era de esos lugares que olían a medicina. 

Jarabes y ungüentos se vendían para sanar heridas, desvanecer verrugas o disipar el dolor. Cabe mencionar, que pese a que las boticas son casi coetáneas al inicio de la Nueva España, no se tiene registro de la venta de antibióticos, pues todavía no existían leyes sobre salud pública.

Para cuando los antibióticos se introdujeron en la vida cotidiana de la CDMX, la Farmacia París fue uno de los principales lugares que los abastecía. Es importante mencionar, que en 1950, una gran parte del Centro Histórico quedó más de un metro bajo las aguas de una terrible inundación. No obstante, Don Ignacio Merino Martínez se dio a la tarea de erigir de nuevo la farmacia, pues no podía concebir ni un día sin atender a sus clientes.

LA FARMACIA PARIS.

A passenger was arrested at an Australian airport after he left a parked airplane through an emergency exit, walked along a wing, and then climbed down a jet engine to the ground.

Jetstar Flight JQ507 arrived at Melbourne Airport from Sydney on August 22. It was parked at a terminal gate when the man left the plane by the right-side exit, officials said.

Opening the exit deployed a slide from the back of the wing to the ground, a Jetstar statement said. But instead of going down the slide, the man walked along the wing and climbed down one of the Airbus A320's two engines.

Passenger Audrey Varghese said passengers screamed as the man started behaving erratically shortly before he opened the door.

She told Melbourne radio 3AW that as soon as the plane had started coming to a stop, the passenger went straight to the emergency exit row, pushing people out of the way, and opened the emergency door.

Another passenger told 9News that the man had been vaping — which is not allowed — during the 90-minute mid-morning flight and had unsuccessfully demanded the air crew provide him with alcohol.

Melbourne Airport said the man was detained by aircrew and ground staff before police arrested him.

"Melbourne Airport is proud of the exceptional response from ground crew, which meant there was no immediate danger to other passengers or airport staff," an airport statement said.

He was assessed by paramedics and taken to a hospital, a police statement said. Police will continue to investigate and charges are likely to be laid at a later date.
