By the 1890s, public perception of drugs in the United States had shifted. Not only did many Americans now want to ban alcohol, they wanted to ban OR regulate ALL DRUGS. Especially highly addictive drugs, like heroin and cocaine.
By that time, doctors had increasingly become more strict about prescribing such drugs to treat patients, but the fact remained that you could still buy a lot of that stuff over the counter. Oh, and most of that stuff didn’t disclose exactly what was in it. Like Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Although we’ll never know the exact number, thousands of parents likely accidentally killed their children when they gave them too much Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. The American Medical Association would later call Winslow’s a “baby killer.”
Many Americans called for the federal government to do something about these dangerous, unlabelled over the counter patent medicines. Before this time, the federal government rarely got involved, though, and let state and local governments handle it. When it did get involved, it was usually the Department of Agriculture looking at the safety of agricultural products.
Americans were also increasingly getting worried about what was in the food they ate that was packaged and sold in markets. After the Industrial Revolution, food production became a worldwide industry. For the first time, food could be packaged in a way that it lasted longer and didn’t spoil so quickly. Well, some food manufacturers might add some extra spices or additives to canned food to uh...hide the bad taste of expired food. Now, since 1879, nearly 100 bills had been introduced in Congress to regulate food and drugs. But they all failed.
But one man was perhaps more determined than any other to change that. Who was that? Why... a chemist named Harvey Washington Wiley. As leader of the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Chemistry, he spent years trying to convince the United States Congress, while simultaneously fighting off the food lobbyists, to pass a law to do this.
It wasn’t just Wiley and his Poison Squad. There were all the muckrakers, or reform-minded journalists of the Progressive Era who called out unsanitary conditions in factories.. There was also this little book called The Jungle.

Should all drugs be legal and regulated? Why or why not?

They shouldn’t because I said so
Mr Beat do Making Arizona & New Mexico
@Lunar it can be regulated if it is legal
To answer the question, as long as the regulations are good, sure.
I say, legalize all drugs, and make it so that the FDA has total control over it, only answerable to the prez and congress, and create a sort of drug card, that is near impossible it get.

The second I saw the title I thought "When is he bringing up The Jungle?" I read that in college. It is a rough read, but worth it. Easy to see why it influenced so many people and helped lead to positive change. The written word can be a powerful thing.
The Jungle was surprisingly an engaging book for me when I first read it. It holds up pretty well.
And yet, conditions in meat packing plants are still miserable for workers. The Cargill plant in High River, Alberta here in Canada had the largest workplace covid outbreak in North America in 2020 due to the company's refusal to bring in mitigating measures when the infection first appeared.
Oddly enough they are not much known outside the USA. I only read it while at college a few years back in the USA.
It was riveting. I did not pay much attention to the grossing out of meat production. The plight of the emigres , and the plight of Lithuanian unsung hero got me the most attention.
Oddly enough , the largest meat packers at the time in Chicago, Swift and Armour, made out quite well in Brazil. Swift actually brands a chain of ( not sure if franchised ) butcher shops seen on more affluent urban neighborhoods.
Pre-Boomer: "Back in my day, we didn't complain that we would work 60 hour work weeks!"

@@bigmoniesponge When I said "Pre-Boomer" I meant that as "any generation before the boomers". I don't think they named the generation that lived in 1891-1903.
Not to mention some easy-to-use heroin pills readily available at your local drug store. Man they had it good back then.
@@phyein4815 They sold liquid heroin as cough medicine, and openly advertised the word on the bottles too!

You were the third worst president in American History Franklin Pierce.

Hello Mr. President. Thanks for causing Bleeding Kansas. It’s very interesting. ;)
Hello Babyface Pierce!
Hi mr beat. So i’m a Swede that’s never been to America but thanks to you good sir i’ve learnet pretty much the whole american legal system and all the ammendments. My favorite part of your channel is the supreme court briefs. Thank you and never stop the amazing job you’re doing!

Mr. Beat has a style of narration I like. He narrates like he is not surprised by anything regarding human behavior. Do not change!
This is really valuable and kind feedback. Thank you!
@@iammrbeatIt's probably what caused me to watch more when I came across one of your shorts for the first time. This is my first time watching a longer video and I love your style.
Wonderful working on this collab with you Mr. Beat. I'm sorry you had to suffer through that Coke ;)
Same! Your video was amazing. Also, for the record....that was the first sip of Coca-Cola I've had in at least 10 years. :D
It was pretty obvious when you took the sip, "this isn't a soda kind of guy." Thank you for suffering for education and entertainment!
The FDA was one of the best things Theodore Roosevelt did. That's why he's my 4th favorite president.
Yeah I agree that the legislation he signed that created the FDA were up there for most important accomplishments.
@@iammrbeat The Pure Food and Drug Act
I honestly disagree I mean the FDA back then was probably reasonable but nowadays its just a monopoly granter and makes the price of very much needed drugs like insulin so much more expensive it kills thousands
Would love to see an episode on the founding of other government subsidiaries like NASA
A whole Space Race video is probably overdue
Jan 28th 2021. I started using Oxycodone. It was easy, no drug tests, no special doctor, just get it refilled when I needed.
It really messed with my head, so I wanted a lighter opioid, even if the pain would be worse. Started having to go to pain doctors, get threatened to lose access if I'm late to mandatory appointments, and regular drugtests.
Dr. Pepper is older than Coca-Cola and was considered to be a medicine to relieve upset stomachs.
Another great example of a patent medicine!
There is some debate over the name of Dr Pepper having a relationship with stomach health. Pepsi was named as a means to sooth upset stomach (known medically as dyspepsia), and there may be a component of that same idea in Dr PEPper.
What about ginger ale
I remember watching both John Green's video on this period of time and The Presidents (1885-1913) talked about how the Administration of Theodore Roosevelt was influenced to implement the Meat Inspection Act and Pure Food and Drug Act, Upton Sinclair's book The Jungle. In fact, John Green said that (given that it was described as an exposé of the meat packing industry) it was a book that made him feel unwell reading it. This was the most in depth on the subject that I have seen Matt, superb :)
Well thank you! I could have definitely brought up a whole lot more, but I limited myself in case high school teachers want to show this one. 😁
@@iammrbeat wise decision, lol, don't want to go too far over the kids heads. It's a similar to how I go about explaining my Masters Degree to students of a similar age
Poison squad is a great documentary on PBS. While it isn’t necessarily about the FDA, it has a good amount on Wily. I like it and I would recommend
Another motivation for Roosevelt to pass the Meat Inspection act:
During the Spanish American War, canned meat was shipped to troops fighting in Cuba and Puerto Rico. This canned meat was often very poor quality, and then cooked and rotted in the cans under the harsh Caribbean sun. Not even Roosevelt - a gifted taxidermist and former cattle rancher - could stomach it. Many of the American troops, including Roosevelt's men, got sick and even died from the meat. In effect, Roosevelt wanted to avenge those men who died from the bad canned meat.
Great video :-D
I noticed you used some photos taken by the danish-american photographer Jacob A. Riis. Maybe you could make a video about him sometime?
Greetings from a fan from Denmark
I would LOVE to make a video about Riis.
I love your videos, keep up the great work
Thank you so much!
Amazing video Mr Beat.
Thank you! 😊
I loved the use of humor in this video - informative and entertaining at the same time. Two qualities that all of my favorite teachers had.
I love the fact that you make your own background music. I would like to do that too someday
I feel like "The Food and Drug Administration" would be the name of a band Mr. Beat was in during college.
You would be correct to guess that. The band was actually called Photolab.
@@iammrbeat I... I think that may be worse.
Mr. Beat you are an absolute avatar of education. I proud to know there are hard working teachers like you out there that are genuinely motivated to mold our next generation. As for this generation, I certainly have learned a lot from you. It's almost enough to forgive you for giving Lincoln a B......almost.
Haha well thank you
I have studied about many of the issues you mentioned. I have always consider the story of thalidomide a win for our process. The FDA would not give it green light, but the UK did. Thalidomide is a very sad story.
my largest concern in this video is how mr. beat knows what cocaine tastes like
Look, caffeine is my drug of choice. 😄
Another amazing video Mr. Beat. Your channel has made history more captivating to me than anything else!
Thank you so much!!
Your channel and content have come a long way! Keep hustling!
this is the best channel on the platform. aspiring teachers everywhere trust mr. beat 🙏🏼
There's also a lot of pharma execs who are part of the FDA, probably explains why we don't have any price control on pharmaceuticals
Thanks for the lesson. Great video and looking forward to checking out more of your content
Lets go!!!! Summer break so we getting here early baby!!!! I have a possible video idea...

Excellent video Mr. Beat! Thanks!
Excellent historical reconstruction for a short video. The Upton Sinclair piece , I waited eagerly to see if came up, as I read the book.
The timeline, names, narrative , all worthy of praise.
Your videos might get that awchucks kinda of style , but they stick, it grows on this listener. . There are all narrative videos out there that you start dozing off out of boredom , yours actually are quite entertaining.
Mr. Beat: "Let's go back to the 1800's"
Me: "Nooooooo!" (Runs away crying)
I really enjoyed the video. Well done Mr. Beat.
Great video and thank you for introducing us to Patrick Kelly's channel he is great too.
Thanks for the video! It was very entertaining and interesting to learn about all that. :D
Opiates are, in absolute fact, the most effective cough suppression we have. It's ability to stop a patient coughing is amazing. It does not, obviously, treat the underlying disease, but it does significantly reduce misery.
Thank you for this insightful video!
15:26 i can hear the disappointment
Caffeine is actually my drug of choice lol
Hey Mr. Beat, Have you ever thought about making a video about how congressional districts or how the mapping of one works?
Hey Mr. Beat! I've been watching through alot of your presidential elections in American history videos when something dawned on me. Have you ever wondered what former presidents thought about later presidents' terms in office? (Ex. What James Madison thought about Andrew Jackson as a president or what Eisenhower thought of LBJ as president, etc.) I know its random to think about, but I was just wondering because every president differs in many aspects and I bet there were moments of praise from former presidents, but moments of scrutiny as well toward the later successors. Just curious what your thoughts are on this topic and maybe if it's interesting enough you could make a video on it! Just a suggestion, though of course. Thanks and keep up the great content, my guy!
This was a nice refresher on the US History Class I took 2 years ago

Can you imagine the kinds of drugs that would be gone in the far future than we use today? Something tells me Oxycotin would be up there soon.
Just out of curiosity, Mr. Beat, what is your next country comparison video gonna be on?

Why don't you make video about the history of medal of honor? And your ten favorite medal of honor recipients.
Thanks for the suggestion. :D
@@iammrbeat thanks for the response man.
Mr Beat! Love the channel, especially as a fellow history teacher.
You should do a video ranking the best First Ladies. I’d expect to see Eleanor Roosevelt and Dolley Todd Madison, but I honestly have no idea who else would make a top 10 list. Barbara Bush and Michelle Obama maybe? Abigail Adams would be number one on my list of founding mothers, but possibly not First Ladies because of her stance on the Alien and Sedition Acts. I’m doubting Mary Todd Lincoln makes the cut. I think this could really be interesting.
Keep up the great work!
I would like to say great video but that seems to be the gold standard here at your channel😀🇺🇸
Aw well thank you so much Maximilian!
Janet Woodcock is not the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, she is the Acting Commissioner of Food and Drugs as Biden has not named a new commissioner or sought Senate approval yet

I thought the CDC was issuing the emergency authorization for the vaccines? Could you make a video comparing the different tasks of CDC and FDA? Good video btw! :)
The FDA allows vaccines to be out in the public. The CDC is mainly there for the public health regulations for the American populace. I’d say the CDC has the upper hand in alerting safety of vaccines here and conducting real world studies on how they’re used.
@@ranelgallardo7031 the saddest thing is that the best case scenario for the fda was to severely hurt some Americans who could have severe allergic reactions to vaccine treatment and cause many healthy Americans to be out of commission for a day, potentially losing money and work hours that will hurt the health of the economy.

My friend’s great grandfather or great great grandfather (I forgot) was neighbors with the inventor of Coca Cola. My friend’s relative was invited over to the inventor of Coca Cola’s house. My friends relative drank the prototype but then he didn’t like it so he never became business partners because the inventor of Coca Cola wanted my friend’s relative to invest.
Kind of makes me think history repeats itself in different ways ( and yes Mr. Beat did a video on this)
DON'T GET ME STARTED. :D
