He was instrumental in getting Congress to pass the Federal Caustic Poison Act of 1927 which required the poison symbol and antidote label to be placed onto household lye and other poisonous household cleansers.

After working as a clerk for Western Union Telegraph Company, he embarked on a long career in publishing. Initially, he initially was an advertising manager for Charles Scribner’s Sons, where he founded The Brooklyn Magazine . His hard work caught the eye of Philadelphia publisher Cyrus Curtis, whose Ladies’ Home Journal had become one of the nation’s leading publications.

Monsters, Marvels, and Medicine: A “Disturbingly Informative” Exploration of the Mütter Museum and the Monstrous on Display Jessica Shapiro 1 Introduction Among the dimly lit and crowded glass cases that cradle wet specimens in chemically- induced states of suspension and bald human skulls staring emptily outward, the visitor to the Mütter Museum steps into a world of morbid curiosity that changed the course of medicine in the United States in the nineteenth century. The Museum’s history, purpose, and function, though at times oppositional and divergent, unite in the momentary and physical space of the Museum’s main gallery where the present-day viewer meets odd and unusual human specimens long preserved, where the nineteenth-century notion of the monstrous is reimagined by the twenty- first century visitor, and where the antiquated museum becomes modern. Dr. Thomas Mütter, one of Philadelphia’s most prominent nineteenth-century surgeons established the Museum in 1858 as a repository for the collection of his medical curiosities.
