The Warmth of His Continuing Interest”
This paper examines anesthesiologist Henry K. Beecher’s funding relationship with pharmaceutical manufacturer Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. Beecher is a familiar figure to both medical ethicists and historians of medicine for his role in the bioethics revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. In particular, his 1966 article “Ethics and Clinical Research” is widely considered a turning point in the post-World War II debate about informed consent. We argue tha…

“Reconsidering the 1918–19 Influenza Pandemic in the Age of Covid-19”
For many us who have studied, researched, written, and taught about the influenza pandemic of 1918–19, the current period of the global viral pandemic is eerily and unpleasantly familiar. Today, the rapid global spread of a virus has prompted policies calling for widespread closures, social distancing, constant handwashing, and public mask wearing in additional to other non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs). We have also seen pushback and resis…

Clinical trials and the origins of pharmaceutical fraud
This paper describes one possible origin point for fraudulent behavior within the American pharmaceutical industry. We argue that during the late nineteenth century therapeutic reformers sought to promote both laboratory science and increasingly systematized forms of clinical experiment as a new basis for therapeutic knowledge. This process was intertwined with a transformation in the ethical framework in which medical science took place, one in …

Owning Ideas
Intellectual property is all around us,” writes Oren Bracha in his book on the history of American patent and copyright law (p. 1). “We have grown so accustomed to the idea that it is easy to forget how strange it is. But it is strange” (ibid.). Yes, indeed it is. As Bracha shows, from a historical perspective the fundamental assumptions underlying our contemporary understanding of patents and copyrights—that ideas and creative endeavors are a fo…
Pharmaceutical patenting and the transformation of American medical ethics
The attitudes of physicians and drug manufacturers in the US toward patenting pharmaceuticals changed dramatically from the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth. Formerly, physicians and reputable manufacturers argued that pharmaceutical patents prioritized profit over the advancement of medical science. Reputable manufactures refused to patent their goods and most physicians shunned patented products. However, moving into the early twenti…

The Testing of Sanocrysin
This article provides a detailed analysis of the origins and significance of the 1926 clinical trial of Sanocrysin, a gold compound thought at the time to be useful in the treatment of tuberculosis. This experiment is generally considered to be the first clinical trial in the United States that used a formal system of randomization to divide research subjects into treatment and nontreatment groups; it was probably also the first clinical trial in…
A Thing Patented is a Thing Divulged
This article examines the efforts of pharmacist and physician Francis E. Stewart to legitimize the commercial introduction of new drugs by reinterpreting the ethical status of patent rights in pharmaceutical manufacturing. I argue that patents had long been understood by the orthodox medical community as an unethical form of medical monopoly and that, as a result, drug companies that marketed their goods primarily to physicians in the years immed…
The Secret Leprosy of Modern Days
Timothy Hickman has written a welcome addition to the growing body of scholarship that examines the history of addiction as a social and cultural phenomenon. Hickman's work pushes the study of addiction in an important new direction: he suggests that widely held ideas about habitual narcotic use, which he calls “the addiction concept” (4), simultaneously grew out of, and helped create, a “cultural crisis of modernity” (4) in the United States dur…
Mass-Producing the Individual
This article examines the origins of psychiatric social work in the United States between 1912 and 1930. It argues that the establishment of the field needs to be understood in terms of Mary C. Jarrett and Elmer E. Southard's efforts to apply psychiatric techniques to the mental health problems of industrial employees. It further argues that Jarrett and Southard worked to develop a treatment approach to the mental health problems of industrial wo…
