At the height of the Great Depression, the mysterious deaths of
children in Oklahoma sparked an unprecedented investigation of a
new and powerful antibiotic elixir.In a "nationwide race with
death," US government agents struggled to seize and destroy
hundreds of bottles of the toxic drug before more children could be
killed. Elixir tells the shocking true story of the deaths of more
than 100 Americans who fell victim to this untested drug, the
forces that led to the disaster, and the parallels to similar
episodes of drug poisoning that continue to this day. Barbara J.
Martin has compiled the most detailed historical account to date of
this vast pharmaceutical tragedy and the myriad reactions to the
fatal poisonings-from the manufacturer, the prescribing doctors,
the dispensing pharmacists, and the organizations that had a
significant stake in this tragedy, including the American Medical
Association, the Food and Drug Administration, and Congress. Elixir
follows this industrial catastrophe to its alarming conclusion with
important insights for the 21st century."
