Mrs. Kendal: Why, Mr. Merrick, you're not an elephant man at all.

Joseph: Oh no?

Mrs. Kendal : Oh no... no... you're a Romeo.

Dracula July 20: Nice role models you've got there, Jack.

"Had I even the secret of one such mind—did I hold the key to the fancy of even one lunatic—I might advance my own branch of science to a pitch compared with which Burdon-Sanderson's physiology or Ferrier's brain-knowledge would be as nothing."

John Burdon-Sanderson and David Ferrier were real guys. JBS didn't discover the medical uses of penicillin exactly, but he was one of the people heading in that direction. Farrier did a lot of pioneering work in mapping how the brain controls the body. Unfortunately, because Victorian medical science is a horror show, both were also vivisectionists. That is, they experimented by operating on live animals to see what would happen. This was controversial even before Stoker wrote Dracula. In 1881 Ferrier was the first scientist tried under the 1876 Cruelty to Animals act.

I don't think these guys are mentioned to show, even in hindsight, that Seward is monstrous. We've seen that Seward's idea of taking things too far with Renfield is rigorously questioning him about his delusions, or indulging them (thank goodness he didn't get that kitten). Instead, I think the purpose of naming Burdon-Sanderson and Ferrier is that they would have been known at the time as scientists who really pushed the bounds of medical knowledge, maybe to the point of being a little mad themselves, and Stoker wants us to think of Seward as the same sort pioneer in the medical field.

Today I prepared my presentation for next Wednesday's Out to Lunch. Toni Gardner from Cornell Cooperative Extension and I will be presenting "There's No Place Like Home: Household Hazards from Victorian Times to Now." My portion of the talk will be a brief tour of the exhibit Your Victorian House is Killing You which was created by our previous curator Monica Groth.

I plan on drawing special attention to some of the medicines on display including:

Dr. Jayne's Expectorant, which contained opium, ipecac, and digitalis, used to treat coughs and tuberculosis

Acid Areniosum, or arsenic acid, used to treat ailments from asthma to cancer

Calomel, a laxative containing mercury and wintergreen

Tincture of Arnica, a topical solution to treat swelling that causes dizziness, tremors, and heart irregularities if ingested

Medical Monday: The “everlasting pill”

Throughout history many things were used to treat ailments, some good ideas and others- the complete opposite. Its no secret that it was a common practice to experiment with different metals, and antimony is today’s hot topic.

The everlasting pill, used during the Middle Ages and grew in popularity in the ninteenth century- was a small metalic pill people took when they fell ill, in the hopes to “clean out” the body and purge the humors. The point of this pill was once it was consumed, it would induce vomiting and diarrhea. The “everlasting” name was given because it was meant to be retrieved once it exited the body, cleaned and re-used. This little metal ball would also be passed down to future generations like a family heirloom.

But it’s no surprise antimony is not safe to consume, the reason it caused the symptoms was due to its poisonous effects. It wasn’t a miracle product, the body was trying to remove a dangerous material from itself. Also, there’s a belief that the great Mozart actually died from constant antimony usage- though there are many different possibilities that caused the death of the renowned composer.
