Pharmacy Students Taste To Learn Their History
Ever tasted marihuana or strychnine? Or would you rather try pinch of the poison hemlock with which Socrates took his life?
These are only a few of the drugs which pharmacy students must taste and learn to identify in the Pharmacognosy class taught by Dean J. Allen Reese of the School of Pharmacy.
Hundreds of plants, valuable to their drug derivatives, are studied and their uses learned. Taste plays a major part in the identification of the majority of them.
Many have fascinating histories dating back thousands of years. Others have no value whatever and save come into use as a result of superstition in home remedies.
For example, there is the dried oxyledon of the cola nitida, more familiar as an ingredient of Coca Cola. It contains caffeine and is sed by the pharmacist as a nerve, cerebral, and cardiac stimulant.
Another is coca, the dried leaf of the erythroxylon coca, from which the drug, cocaine, is derived. When Coca Cola was introduced many people believed that it contained locaine and was habit-forming.
In fact, in the South where the brink was first put on sale, people still call it "dope" and ask for it by that name.
Did you know that the myrrh of biblical fame was once used as a favoring in mouth washes, or that the castor oil which was a nightmare o you as a child is now used in most of the hair oils which you use?
Even licorice finds its place on the druggist's shelves. Many bitter and nauseate preparations are made palatable by the addition of powdered licorice. Most of the licorice imported is used by tobacco manufacturers as a flavoring in tobacco. The candy industry uses the remainder, with a small amount being used in your shoe polish.
On and on goes the history of modern drugs. Even the advent of miracle drugs" has affected the usage of these common drugs produced by nature.
Even Socrates' poison hemlock has fixed a valued position. It is now used as a motor depressant in cases of delirium tremens (D.T.'s to you).
