Sweeney","doi":"10.1093/shm/hkad025","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1093/shm/hkad025","url":null,"abstract":"Opium was of central importance to the expansion of western informal empire in China, and became a cipher for contested questions of moral authority, racial hierarchy, scientific knowledge, civilisation and modernity. Westerners involved in the opium trade were imbued with an ethos of ‘distancing’ from Chinese culture and lifestyles, including the smoking of opium, and it has been assumed that westerners largely adhered to these boundaries. However, a small minority of westerners did smoke opium in China, notably medical professionals and other elites. The nature of, and response to, these transgressions is highly revealing of the era’s shifting conceptions of racial hierarchy, medical science, religious morality and ultimately the advent of modernity.","PeriodicalId":21922,"journal":{"name":"Social History of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47584521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their limited efficacy, both products became commercially successful in their respective markets. Drawing on news articles and opinion columns, this article investigates how these two similar products were marketed to different demographics and adapted to meet the needs of local consumers, highlighting the ways in which medicines take on new meanings in different social and historical contexts. At the same time, the case of ‘Wife’s Friend’ and ‘Lady’s Friend’ pessaries also exposes the blurriness between the categories of Western and Traditional Chinese Medicine and the shortcomings of both types of medicine in the early twentieth century. Ultimately, this research shows that interrogating medicine from a comparative transnational perspective can yield new insights into the relationship between commercialisation, modernity and perceptions of health.","PeriodicalId":21922,"journal":{"name":"Social History of Medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49467863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Present-day medical scholars, journalists, and other commentators have often ignored, downplayed or treated with scepticism the role of bacterial vaccines in reducing mortality during the pandemic. There have been repeated claims in this century that these vaccines were 'useless', 'concocted', and possibly harmful. Focussing on the Australian scene, I show that bacterial vaccines from reputable sources did indeed reduce mortality, perhaps to a greater extent in some cases than modern anti-viral influenza vaccines.</p>","PeriodicalId":21922,"journal":{"name":"Social History of Medicine","volume":"36 2","pages":"219-234"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2023-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10568242/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41238588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
