History of Chemistry

Have you ever had a question about the History of Chemistry, because I just had one recently about the invention of Pepto-Bismol. This invention of Pepto-Bismol was a key invention to the society because this helped people cure their rare disease in the late nineteenth century that people called diarrhea. Today, I am going to take you on an adventure through time that was the late eighteenth century to the early nineteenth century and you will come to see that Pepto-Bismol was an amazing invention. Let’s start with the beginning stages of the creation of Pepto-Bismol.

First, Pepto-Bismol was created in the early nineteenth century, but to be exact it was the year 1901. The group of people that made the product was called the Norwich Eaton Company. They had seen that a disease called diarrhea (known around the world today) was a rare problem in the late eighteenth century. Society was drastically hit hard because of the disease because people varied from the this disease. The ages were as young as infants and as old as the elderly today. The infants were hit the hardest because they were the ones that were dying from this because they were too little to understand what was happening inside their bodies, and they were not fully grown or at least grown enough to be able to release the excess waste from their body so it stayed inside for their whole lives until they eventually died because of the excess waste. They people felt sorry for the little ones because they knew that this didn’t have to be done to them because they were only newborn infants and were only here for a short time.

Second, there were many natural resources that helped create the product, but they were never given out, so nobody has ever figured out the main ...

Finally, the invention of Pepto-Bismol has helped shape the world today because without it, there would still be infants dying due to an excess amount of waste inside their bodies. This was an amazing creation and I will hope that it will be forever used in our world because it is such an amazing tool for everyday life dealing with things form upset stomachs to diarrhea. This has changed my view on the History of Chemistry, and I hope it has also changed the way you look at it now. Remember, without Pepto-Bismol, you would always have to deal with upset stomachs and diarrhea.
