Translation:
On March 3 1757 the apothecary Christian Ludwig Lokk was permitted to establish an apothecary at Uppsala. He named it "Uplands Vapen." A fire destroyed the apothecary in 1766. Afterwards he built a bigger apothecary.
This new apothecary was certainly the reason Scheele in 1770 sought out the Uplands Vapen to do his work. Over five years at this apothecary he discovered oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, manganese, and barium.
