Apothecary
Apothecary is a shop that sells a permanent change, not a card you place. Gold tier, days 3 through 10 and later, one choice, you pay, no reroll. That last clause is why a bad click sticks.
The three options on the card
Fortifying Salve permanently grants 5 or 10. The card does not say 5 or 10 of which stat in the short line I stored, so I will not write "health" or "regen" on top of it. Nourishing Glaze permanently grants 5. Revitalizing Tincture permanently grants 1. Three options, all permanent, all paid. If your gold is the difference between a real item and this node, the item is usually the purchase you can resell. A permanent +1 that you cannot name is a poor use of a no-reroll node.
Mak players notice the alchemist flavor and still should read the numbers. This event does not drop Tomb of the Ancients and it does not count as a Zosima visit. It is a Gold event node. Bex, the other Gold row in the table, is a bet on days 2 to 5 and is a different decision. I am not importing Bex's 5-gold wager onto the salve.
The database is one source for these three lines. I do not have a second site that reprints the 5/10 split, so the status on the options is one source. The fact that an Apothecary event exists is wider than that, because the search itself and the card agree on the name.

Questions
Can I reroll the Apothecary?
The card says no.
What does Fortifying Salve give?
A permanent 5 or 10. The stat name is not in the short line I stored, so I am not labeling it.
