Calomel was a compound of mercury and chloride. In the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, it was popular for physicians to use metal compounds for medicine. Calomel was used because it helped the body rid itself of the humor black bile humor. Like jalap, calomel was also dangerous. Frequent usage led to the falling out of teeth and hair. Despite the dangers, Rush began to use ten grains of each for his purges. In today’s standards, this dosage was six hundred and forty-seven milligrams. This amount was not producing the purges that Rush wanted. He kept his amount of ten grains of calomel. In order to produce larger stomach purges, Rush gave his patients a new regiment of fifteen grains of jalap. This is around nine hundred and seventy-one milligrams by today’s standards. Rush had tripled the usual dosage. This new combination produced four to five purges a day. Rush claimed that he had saved four out of five lives with this prescription. Ironically, Rush was against the combination of calomel and jalap when it was used in military hospitals during the Revolution. He stated that their effects were too violent on the patient’s system. He wrote that the combination was disproportionate to the weakness of the patient during a fever. However, since Rush followed the European methods, he disregarded his old mindset. With Mitchell’s theory, Rush had to induce large purges. This combination was going to provide him with that. In addition to purging the stomach Rush
When doing research I found that Benjamin Rush was the father of the American Psychiatry from 1745 to 1813. Rush claimed that “the cause of madness is seated primarily in the blood vessels of the brain” and that mental derangement occurs because the brain is “overcharged” with blood. Also, I researched that Rush had a “Negritude”. In 1797, Rush declared that blacks suffered from a disease called negritude. This he claimed derived from leprosy and caused the skin to be dark and that segregation would therefore prevent infection. He stated that the skin turning white, at which point the person would be considered sane, signified the only cure.

When you are under Dr. Devese´s treatment you would get insane amounts of fluids, enough for an elephant! Dr. Deveses wanted his patients to rid the pestilence from their blood through draining with laxatives. To recapitulate, all of the treatments were same and different in so many ways. If I were a doctor treating patients I would definitely take in the ways that Dr. Rush violently treated his patients.

Pharmaceutical Sciences is a topic that has interested me for a while now. What I can say about this topic is that it will help humanity grow as a whole and keep everyone moving forward.

Once people start to think about it, they would start to realize that the science that happens is extremely crucial to mankind as we know it. Without this kind of science, where would humans be today? Would we have the ability to evolve the way we have? How far would humans make it to creating today’s future as we know it? The simple answer to all these questions is
