Collection[edit]

This article doesn't really convey how big of a collection that Henry Wellcome amassed. His collection was simply the biggest collection amassed ever. It was truly vast. The article conveys the idea, that he focused on medical equipment. Although that was the case at the beginning of his mad spree, by the end, he was collecting everything that took his fancy and a lot more besides. I understand it took a full 43 years to catalogue it. scope_creep (talk) 16:49, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wellcome Trust[edit]

Saw Henry Wellcome on facesofphilanthropy.com, Thought his trust fund deserved it's own section in his wiki article, as its contributions to society have been so significant. Sir. Somerset (talk) 19:10, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Henry Wellcome/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Pills were commonly known and frequently used before the Wellcome introduction of the 'tabloid'. Pills were, however hand rolled by the pharmacist to meet the doctor's prescription. Wellcome mechanised and standardised the production of pills as tablets.

missing content[edit]

There is not a word on how he came to live or found a company in the UK, very strange. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.115.35.76 (talk) 20:52, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
