Once considered the best medical advice in the world:
Yep, like cocaine was once touted as a wonder drug...
Or, vibrators supposedly cured hysteria...
Or, Fen-Phen was a miracle weight loss pill...
Or heroin could cure a cough...
Or that lobotomies hacked away troubled brains...YOU should try that one.
Or, shock treatment will cure your impotency...
Oxycontin was touted as non-addictive by the Sackler family of Purdue Pharmaceuticals before they bailed to avoid any liabilities.
