The Auburn Daily American and Saratoga Springs NY Daily Saratogian, from 1855 contained the earliest newspaper advertisements discovered for this product (Fig. 5). Advertisements placed by “I. C. Baldwin & Co., (Late J. Bryan), Rochester, N. Y.” appeared in the Auburn Daily American for a product with a slightly different name “The Great English Remedy. Sir James Clark’s Celebrated Female Pills” for which Baldwin & Co. were the “Sole Agent for the United States.” These advertisements have a different spelling of the product’s name, i.e. Clark’s versus Clarke’s in the headline; however, all statements of the product’s authenticity used the Clarke with an “e” spelling.

Y.” as the general agents for this product. Research into “Tuttle & Moses of Auburn, N. Y.” produced product inventory advertisements for the company Tuttle & Moses Medicines (1852-1859) in the Auburn Daily American from March 30th through to December 30th, 1855, which listed a product called “Clark’s Female Pills. The Great English Remedy” for which Tuttle and Moses were the general agents. Prior to March 30th, 1855, there was no mention of this product in their inventory advertisements.
It is not until 1856 that advertisements for the product “The Great English Remedy. Sir James Clarke’s Celebrated Female Pills,” appeared in both Canadian and American newspapers (The Daily Globe 1856; The Daily Pittsburgh Gazette 1856; Morning Journal 1856). The 1856 Toronto newspaper advertisements listed the sole agent for “The Great English Remedy. Sir James Clarke’s Celebrated Female Pills,” in the United States as “I. C. Baldwin & Co. (Late J. Bryan)” with “Tuttle, Moses & Northrop of Newcastle, Canada West” (1854-1857) as the general agents for the Canadas. Elsewhere in Canada and in the United States in 1856, the sole
Newspapers such as the New York Times published articles about “diseases” and their effects on everyday people. In the case of Detrol, reports of middle-aged people constantly having to empty their bladders lead many Americans to question their habits. Pharmacia used opinion polls and surveys as statistics, and several reporters used these surveys in their articles . Although the FDA warned Pharmacia that their claims did not have evidentiary support, the company continued to sell the disease and the drug to the American public. Companies such as Pharmacia were ruthless in their quest to sell their

Advertisements are all over the place. Whether they are on TV, radio, or in a magazine, there is no way that you can escape them. They all have their target audience who they have specifically designed the ad for. And of course they are selling their product. This is a multi billion dollar industry and the advertiser’s study all the ways that they can attract the person’s attention. One way that is used the most and is in some ways very controversial is use of sex to sell products. For me to analyze this advertisement I used the rhetorical triangle, as well as ethos, pathos, and logos.
During the 1900's, the McNeil company developed and established Tylenol into a well known and recommended analgesic. It has become recognized world wide as a safe brand of acetaminophen. The name Tylenol has become identified as a trusted, safe drug that people can easily purchase over the counter for their ailments. Tylenol is still recommended by doctors even though there was a cyanide scare in the history of the company. It has been discovered by my independent survey that consumers use Tylenol for their pet's needs also.

My late great-great-grandfather was the first known Jewish pharmacist in the city of Toronto during the 1910’s. He died at the young age of 42 during one of Toronto’s influenza outbreaks. The artifact I have chosen to present is an embossed druggist bottle from his pharmacy. The name printed on the bottle is my great-great-grandfathers name, A B Hashmall, which is short for Ainsley Benjamin Hashmall. He immigrated to Canada in 1903, but only began working as a pharmacist in 1913, when he set up his own store at 119 Agnes Street. Ainsley remained at his store on Agnes street for only a year before moving to 11 St. Patrick St. He was at that location when these bottles were produced. I know that because that exact address is embossed onto the glass bottles.
MDMA, also known as Ecstasy, beans, rolls, or just plain X. This drug has a long history, which began almost 90 years ago. In 1912 Merck, a German pharmaceutical company, first synthesized MDMA (Erowid). MDMA was then patented in 1913 or maybe 1914 (patent #274.350) by the same German company supposedly to be sold as a diet pill (The Invention). The patent has no mention of any intended uses of the drug. There are other urban legends associated with Ecstasy, such as in 1953 the US Army tested MDMA as a possible truth serum, but there is no evidence for this (Saunders).
The first step towards mass production was gaining the support of the public. World War 2 allowed penicillin to gain popularity because of its impact on the allied forces. Because of the widespread use in the war and because of production rate, the price of penicillin dropped from 20$ per vial to one dollar per vial (Hamblin 240). This price drop allowed it to become more accessible to the public, and by the 1950’s penicillin was being used to trea...

Tylenol Case Study The discipline of public relations is a modern profession which has been in existence for only close to a century; however, it has already taken an important role in the fields of business, government, entertainment and non-profit organizations including educational institutions and healthcare organizations. Public relations professionals are required to have excellent organizational, interpersonal, and communication skills and have the ability to persuade the public. It is imperative for PR professionals to effectively communicate with the public in order to establish and maintain a positive relationship. Furthermore, public relations professionals must have the ability to work under pressure and effectively manage crisis, which may have a detrimental effect on the company and the public it serves.
Wyeth-Ayerst’s research, products, and educational initiatives benefit millions of women. Premarin, the most widely prescribed medication in the United States, is a post-menopausal product that gained AHP notoriety when it was introduced in 1996. Wyeth-Ayerst also introduced Alesse in 1997, a low-dose oral contraceptive formulation that has become very popular in the birth control field.
My passion for “original” medicine, also known as natural medicine, will elicit an advancement in the diversity of medicine. There needs to be a paradigm shift in the way the field of medicine is viewed, by both the public and the physician. When I become a physician, I will indubitably utilize the power of natural medicine to offer vitality and true health to my patients. I will be an advocate of diversity and I will be a pioneer of what is seemingly “abstract” medicine, which has technically been around longer than any class of medication; simply, Foxglove (Digitalis Lanata) came before Digox, and Poppy (Papaver Somniferum) before Vicodin-case closed. The reality is that Western medicine is diametrically opposed to the medicine practiced by the cultures of many of America’s inhabitants. It is
