摘要
医学中的江湖骗术和医学本身一样古老。在危机时刻,绝望的病人往往相信不寻常的说法。在止痛药江湖医术的编年史上,长生不老药、灵药和搽剂占据着突出的地位。纽约大学牙科学院(NYU College of Dentistry, NYUCD)收藏了234瓶此类药物,时间从19世纪中期到1940年。这篇文章是“过去的灵丹妙药”系列文章中的第二篇,在这篇文章中,我们将揭露另外五种含有鸦片的样品:B.J.肯德尔医生的即刻止痛剂,穆恩医生的鸦片灵丹妙药,迪尔的生命之香,福利的即刻止痛剂和布朗的即刻止痛剂。这些只是无数糖浆、中药、香脂或搽剂中含有麻醉剂的五个例子,它们与过量服用、成瘾甚至死亡有关。1906年,国会颁布了《纯净食品和药品法案》,以阻止未经证实的药物声明,并控制成瘾物质的使用。在某种程度上,现代利用互联网广告来发布毫无根据的宣传,甚至比一个世纪前的广告还要无耻。事实上,最近处方止痛药的广泛使用,以及由此造成的阿片类药物成瘾的流行,已造成5万多人死亡,就是一个很好的例子。
Quackery in medicine is as old as medicine itself. In times of crisis, desperate patients often believe extraordinary claims. In the annals of pain-killer quack medicine, elixirs, nostrums and liniments hold a prominent position. NYU College of Dentistry (NYUCD) has a collection of 234 bottles of such medicines dating from the mid-1800s through 1940. This paper is the second in a series of articles featuring "Elixirs of the Past" in which we bring to light five more samples containing opium: Dr. B.J. Kendall's Instant Relief for Pain, Dr. Munn's Elixir of Opium, Dill's Balm of Life, Foley's Pain Relief, and Brown's Instant Relief for Pain. These are just five examples out of countless syrups, nostrums, balm or liniments that contained narcotics and were linked to overdose, addiction and sometimes death. In 1906, Congress enacted The Pure Food and Drug Act to stop unsubstantiated medicinal claims and control the use of addictive substances. The modern-day use of internet advertisements to make unsupported claims is in some ways even more brazen than the advertisements from a century ago. Indeed, the recent widespread use of prescription painkillers, along with the resulting epidemic in opiate addiction that has caused upwards of 50,000 deaths is a case in point.
