An apothecary is an archaic term used for a pharmacist, a person who makes and sells drugs prescribed for curing various forms of illness. In mainstream Smurfs media, Papa Smurf would most likely fill the role of an apothecary, being both an alchemist and a sorcerer.
Empath: The Luckiest Smurf stories[]
In the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story "Smurfnip Madness", Tracker temporarily fills the role of the apothecary (saying that at least he knows the difference between various types of plants) as he and Sickly put together the ingredients for the smurfnip remedy when most of the Smurf Village were intoxicated with smurfnip-laced smurfberries.
