About In Search of History:Potions or Poiso
"POTIONS OR POISONS? tells the fascinating story of how a twentieth-century reform movement led by renowned chemist Dr. Harvey Wiley of the Food and Drug Administration, and spurred on by journalist Samuel Hopkins Adams, led to the end of these roving "medicine shows." Although Wiley's 1906 Pure Food and Drug Act added an element of regulation to the industry, it did not stop the proliferation of so-called miracle tonics. In fact, it was merely the beginning of a tense struggle between those who develop supposed cures, a public eager for a quick fix, and a government that must continually scramble to keep up with the latest trends in medicinal healing."
