History

The name calomel is thought to come from the Greekκαλός beautiful, and μέλαςblack. This name (somewhat surprising for a white compound) is probably due to its characteristicdisproportionation reaction with ammonia, which gives a spectacular black coloration due to the finely dispersed metallic mercury formed. It is also referred to as the mineral horn quicksilver orhorn mercury. Calomel was taken internally and used as a laxative and disinfectant, as well as in the treatment of syphilis, until the early 20th century.

Mercury became a popular remedy for a variety of physical and mental ailments during the age of "heroic medicine." It was used by doctors in America throughout the 18th century, and during the revolution, to make patients regurgitate and release their body from "impurities". Benjamin Rush, a famed physician in colonial Philadelphia and signatory to the Declaration of Independence, was one particular well-known advocate of mercury in medicine and famously used calomel to treat sufferers ofyellow fever during its outbreak in the city in 1793. Calomel was given to patients as a purgative until they began to salivate. However, it was often administered to patients in such great quantities that their hair and teeth fell out.^[3] Shortly after yellow fever struck Philadelphia, the disease broke out in Jamaica. 

A war of words broke out in the newspapers concerning the best treatment for yellow fever;
bleeding or calomel.
Anecdotal evidence indicates calomel was more effective than bleeding. ^[4]

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound

Lydia Estes Pinkham (February 9, 1819 – May 17, 1883) was an iconic concocter and shrewd marketer of a commercially successful herbal-alcoholic "women's tonic" meant to relieve menstrual andmenopausal pains.

Like many women of her time Lydia Pinkham brewed home remedies, which she continually collected. Her remedy for "female complaints" became very popular among her neighbours to whom she gave it away. One story is that her husband was given the recipe as part payment for a debt,^[6] whatever truth may be in this the ingredients of her remedy were generally consistent with the herbal knowledge available to her through such sources as John King's American Dispensary which she is known to have owned and used.^[4] In Lydia Pinkham's time and place the reputation of the medical profession was low. Medical fees were too expensive for most Americans to afford except in emergencies, in which case the remedies were more likely to kill than cure. For example a common "medicine" was calomel, in fact not a medicine but a deadly mercurial toxin, and this fact was even at the time sufficiently well known among the sceptical to be the subject of a popular comic song.^[7] In these circumstances there is no mystery why many preferred to trust unlicensed "root and herb" practitioners, and to trust women prepared to share their domestic remedies such as Lydia Pinkham.^[8]

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound  became one of the best known patent medicines of the 19th century.

Medizin im Mittelalter

Die zehn bizarrsten Heilmethoden
Während des gesamten Mittelalters lag die Verpflegung kranker Menschen überwiegend in der Hand religiöser Ordensgemeinschaften. Die Mönche und Nonnen schöpften ihr medizinisches Wissen aus den Überlieferungen des klassischen Altertums undwandten Praktiken wie den Aderlass oder den Einlauf beinahe willkürlich an. So manche Methode lässt heutige Mediziner nur noch den Kopf schütteln.

Anatomie: mangelhaft

Im oberen Bild ist deutlich zu erkennen, wie mangelhaft das Wissen um den eigenen Körper im Mittelalter war. Medizin damals war eine Mischung aus überliefertem und häufig veraltetem Wissen, Scharlatanerie, Aberglaube und praktischen Erfahrungen. Kirchliche Dogmen verhinderten eine Obduktion Verstorbener, oft sogar Operationen, so dass eine ernsthafte Forschung nicht betrieben werden konnte.

Die vier Säfte des Körpers

Die Ärzte im Mittelalter gingen davon aus, dass die Gesundheit eines Menschen von der Balance seiner vier Körpersäfte abhängig war: Blut, Schleim, gelbe und schwarze Galle regelten in ihren Augen nicht nur den Stoffwechsel, sondern waren auch für den Gemütszustand einer Person zuständig. Mit dem Aderlass sollte das Gleichgewicht der Säfte wieder hergestellt werden.
