The methods applied allow demonstrating, analyzing and classifying all information concerning pharmacies and hospitals of the Society of Jesus that served the needs of Jesuits house tenants as well as the inhabitants of region. Pharmacies prepared and distributed medicine among Jesuits, pupils of collegium and for some time among the inhabitants of towns and nearest villages.

For old and sick people there were set up the lodges.
