DescriptionJames Charles Minnis (1877-1954) practiced as a pharmacist and dentist from 1900 in Blackall, New South Wales. He came to Ipswich, Queensland, around 1930 and opened a chemist shop in Brisbane Street. He was instrumental in formulating 'Infants Friend Oral Liquid', a cure for infants with colic and wind which he sold at his pharmacy until 1950, when it then became available through other Queensland chemists. He was President of the Ipswich Bowls Club from 1931 to 1932. He was mayor of Ipswich from 1939 to 1949. He served as president of numerous groups including the Pharmacy Board in 1923, Ipswich City Concert Orchestra, College of Pharmacy and Chemistry in 1923 and Ipswich Chamber of Commerce. He was a member of the Queensland Pharmaceutical Guild in 1953 and chairman of the Ipswich Technical College at one time. He was also a member of the Blackstone-Ipswich Cambrian Choir.
