Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Antiquarian Society, 1902, Vol. 14 In connection with the paper, Mr. Samuel S. Green said: - Dr. Merriman has referred to the Hamlin mixture. I would like to say a word about this. As he has Stated, Dr. Hamlin received the receipt tor making it from Worcester. It was a prescription of Dr. John Green, who was a Councillor in this Society. It was given to him, a I have always understood, and as Dr. Hamlin says in one of his books, not by Dr. Green´s brother, but by Alfred Dwight Foster, who was tor ten years a Councillor and tor three years treasurer of this Society. Mr. Foster was a benefactor and a connection by marriage of Mr. Hamlin, and one of the hitters sons, who is now a professor in Columbia University, is named Alfred Dwight Foster Hamlin. Dr. Hamlin used this mixture largely in the incipient stages of cholera in Turkey in 1848 and 1855, and. as he says in a book published by him, in thousands of cases in 1865. My friend, the late Edward Griffin Porter, our lamented associate, informed me that the mixture is to be had at all the barber shops in Turkey. The constituents of the compound arc, as stated by Dr. Merriman, equal parts of laudanum, spirits of camphor and tincture of rhubarb. It is an interesting fart that such a medicine should have gone out, as it did, from this town, and been of such wide-spread and immense use in Turkey. Dr. Green told me how the medicine occurred to him. He was visiting the wife of the late Frederick W. Paine, who was a well-known member of this Society, and finding that in the remedy which he generally used for dysentery, there was an ingredient which did not agree with Mrs. Paine´s constitution, had a happy thought that this combination, which is now so widely used, would serve tie desired purpose in the case of his patient; trying it with perfect success on that occasion, he used it a great deal afterwards.
