After the war, for the Austrian succession, the drugs which had been prepared for the french army, operating in Flanders, were sold to a grocer from Rouen, Pierre Gallot. He tried during twenty years to sail these drugs, which were getting older and older. The apothecaries' community members made their best to avoid the dispensation of these faulty drugs by an unqualified person. These periods 1750, 1756-1758 and 1770-1771 were especially rich in incidents. Many documents allow to follow the evolution of the conflict. Finally the grocer was condamned.
