Remedies and Cures As the Maucher Letters testify, see exhibits section, the increased marketing of pharmacutical grade opiate and cocaine remedies resulted in ncreased concerns about the well being of those who had become addicted to such preparations. Whilst drug use was not criminalised in America until the advent of the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act, the evident concern about their use opened up a new market to those opportunists professing to have developed miracle cures for anyone in the grip of addiction. In some publications it became possible to purchase substances as a treatment for all manner of malaise and the remedies to cure one of the addiction imposed by the very same substances. The contents of such remedies became a closely guarded secret by their manufacturers, although in all likelihood their true impact on addiction would have been negligable. |
