“南有回春,北有同仁”,始建于清乾隆庚戌年間(公元(yuan)1790年)的百(bai)年老鋪(pu)—回春藥(yao)店,歷史悠(you)久。
清乾(qian)隆(long)五(wu)十五(wu)年(nian)(公(gong)元1790年(nian)),浙(zhe)(zhe)江(jiang)省仁和縣張氏在(zai)福州八一七北路開設“浙(zhe)(zhe)江(jiang)回春藥局”(今福州回春藥店),是福州現存200多年(nian)的古老藥店。
商(shang)店(dian)建業(ye)(ye)時(shi)期資金周轉困難,張(zhang)氏(shi)向同(tong)(tong)鄉、布(bu)商(shang)吳氏(shi)借大洋(yang)2000塊,翌年(nian)無力償還,遂將店(dian)中(zhong)業(ye)(ye)務(wu)委托吳氏(shi)料理,自己回(hui)(hui)鄉變產償還,豈料一去便杳無音訊。吳氏(shi)長子吳華伯(bo)開(kai)始接(jie)手回(hui)(hui)春(chun)(chun)業(ye)(ye)務(wu),更改(gai)店(dian)名(ming)為“浙江吳氏(shi)回(hui)(hui)春(chun)(chun)藥局”。他勤于(yu)管理,尤其謹記上(shang)輩的(de)遺訓“許可賺大錢,不許賣(mai)假藥”,努力在藥品質量(liang)上(shang)下功夫,保障藥局的(de)信譽,至1920年(nian),初步奠定(ding)了回(hui)(hui)春(chun)(chun)藥局在福州中(zhong)藥行(xing)業(ye)(ye)的(de)前沿(yan)地(di)位,亦有南方(fang)“同(tong)(tong)仁堂”之(zhi)美稱,市民(min)購(gou)藥、豪紳商(shang)賈購(gou)買貴細藥材、名(ming)醫重病處方(fang)配藥無不指定(ding)回(hui)(hui)春(chun)(chun),方(fang)覺購(gou)得真貨(huo)。
古(gu)老的回春藥店(dian),以(yi)前店(dian)后作坊(fang)的形式進行(xing)生產(chan)銷(xiao)(xiao)售(shou)(shou)經營,市場(chang)零售(shou)(shou)還兼批發供應,品種以(yi)丸散丹(dan)膏、藥酒、參、茸(rong)、燕、桂等高檔(dang)、貴重藥材為主,占(zhan)營業額(e)70—80%,中藥飲片(pian)配(pei)方銷(xiao)(xiao)售(shou)(shou)量(liang)僅占(zhan)20—30%。經營的藥品,質量(liang)上乘,信譽(yu)良好。
春藥店(dian)的(de)產品不但銷(xiao)往全閩各地,部(bu)分品種(zhong)還暢銷(xiao)于(yu)東(dong)南亞(ya)。當時,知名(ming)產品有:紫雪丹(dan)、安宮牛(niu)黃丸(wan)(wan)、牛(niu)黃清心丸(wan)(wan)、百(bai)補全鹿丸(wan)(wan)、十全大補丸(wan)(wan)等,較暢銷(xiao)的(de)品種(zhong)屬“周公百(bai)歲酒”,聞名(ming)省內外,遠銷(xiao)東(dong)南亞(ya)新加坡(po)一(yi)帶(dai)。
19世(shi)紀60年(nian)代(dai)末(mo)是回(hui)春迅速發展時期(qi),銷售逐(zhu)年(nian)上升,品牌知(zhi)名度也逐(zhu)步擴大,至(zhi)(zhi)20世(shi)紀20年(nian)代(dai)后,國(guo)內(nei)戰亂的(de)頻繁,使藥(yao)店(dian)的(de)經(jing)營每況愈下(xia)。1941年(nian),福州被日軍占(zhan)領,一批從(cong)天津運回(hui)的(de)周公百歲酒原料被日機炸毀且日軍進駐回(hui)春藥(yao)店(dian)辦(ban)公,企業損失慘重。解(jie)放戰爭(zheng)期(qi)間又遇(yu)貨幣貶值,維持至(zhi)(zhi)1949年(nian)已瀕(bin)臨(lin)破產(chan)。
解放(fang)后,在政策扶持(chi)下業務開始復(fu)蘇。1956年(nian)公(gong)私合營(ying)(ying),為(wei)福(fu)(fu)(fu)州市藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)材公(gong)司(后為(wei)福(fu)(fu)(fu)州醫藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)站(zhan)(zhan))轄屬(shu)商(shang)店(dian)(dian),并(bing)開始兼(jian)營(ying)(ying)西藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao),品(pin)(pin)(pin)種不(bu)斷擴大,中(zhong)藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)處(chu)方(fang)配齊率(lv)保持(chi)全市較高水平(ping)。1985年(nian),福(fu)(fu)(fu)州醫藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)站(zhan)(zhan)細分(fen)為(wei)福(fu)(fu)(fu)州醫藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)采購(gou)供(gong)應站(zhan)(zhan)、福(fu)(fu)(fu)州藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)材采購(gou)供(gong)應站(zhan)(zhan)、福(fu)(fu)(fu)州醫療(liao)器械(xie)采購(gou)供(gong)應站(zhan)(zhan),回春(chun)藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)店(dian)(dian)也一分(fen)為(wei)二(回春(chun)中(zhong)藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)商(shang)店(dian)(dian)和回春(chun)醫藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)商(shang)店(dian)(dian),分(fen)屬(shu)福(fu)(fu)(fu)州藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)材站(zhan)(zhan)和福(fu)(fu)(fu)州醫藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)站(zhan)(zhan)),現(xian)兩個店(dian)(dian)經營(ying)(ying)面積(ji)接近1000平(ping)方(fang)米,經營(ying)(ying)品(pin)(pin)(pin)類(lei)涉及中(zhong)藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)飲片、參茸燕(yan)桂、化(hua)學(xue)(xue)藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)品(pin)(pin)(pin)、新(xin)藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)特藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)、醫療(liao)器械(xie)、化(hua)學(xue)(xue)試劑、玻(bo)璃儀器、滋補保健(jian)品(pin)(pin)(pin)以及藥(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)(yao)學(xue)(xue)化(hua)妝品(pin)(pin)(pin)等。
