I was about to mention that, but @ChuckV beat me to it.
From the article:
“This… was economy in right earnest, for a single pill would serve a whole family during their lives and might be transmitted as an heirloom to posterity.”
Off-topic, but I can’t resist quoting this from the same article:
“Thus, for instance, it was customary to use leeches over and over again and there are instances of infection with syphilis by leeches that had been previously used on luetic patients.”
No single-use leeches.
