In 1955, meprobamate became the first minor tranquilizing drug to appear on the pharmaceutical market in both Canada and the United States. It was promotea as a sâfe and effective means of aileviating mild to moderate anxiety, tension, and mental stress, and was originally intended for use in clinical practice tc treat conditions of a medical nature. But, almost overnight, the consumption of meprobamate became quite fashionable, especially in the show business ccmmunity and among the middle rlass. Dernand for the drug increased, sales figures grew, and the conditions for which it was used expanded to include minor worries and everyday upsets. Çignificantly, women were twice as likely as men to receive a prescription for this new product. This rhesis explores the meprobamate phenonenon as a case study in the process of medicalization. It asks two main questions: What does the introduction anà widespread use of minor tranquilizing drugs in English-speaking Canada during the 1950s reveal about the rnedicalization cf life in general and the medicalization of gender in particular? In what way can this investigation shed new light on the hist~ricalinterpretation of Canada in the postwar period? Drawing on a wide range of written naterial, this iii thesis argues that any postwar analysis of the medicalization process needs to take into consideration the role of pharmaceutical companies. After the war, the drug industry grew drarnatically and assumed more and more responsibility for informinq and educating both doctors and the general public about the latest in drug therapy. It also argues that the fifties decade in Canada was a tirne of great paradox in that it was characterized by the desire for progress through medicine and medical science, and the desire for stability through the strict adherence to narrowly-defined gender roles. Meprobamate and other minor tranquilizing drugs promoted by pharmaceutical companies appealed to both the desire for progress and change and the search for stability and status quo. Together, these factors helped contribute to the medicalization of everyday life in general and the medicalization of gender in particular in English-speaking Canada after World War II. ACKNOWLEDGZMENTS Tho research and writing of a thesis is by nature a solitary and often lonely process. Yet this work would not have been cmpleted had it not been for the advice and suppcrt of a number of people. Therefore, 1 ~ouldlike to take this opportunity to express my heartielt appreciation to the following individuals. Kerry Abel supervised my thesis and Tobÿ Gelfand, Marilyn Barber, and Deborah Gorham formed my thesis supervisory cornmittee. Their prompt and sound editorial suggestions made the writing process more enjoyable and the final product more solid. John Taylor, Duncan McDowall, and Norm Hillrner asked about my progress on a regular basis and alwaÿs ~ffered words of encouragement. Lisa Gaudet, Barb Freeman, and Norma Clif f~rdwere my "study buddies" and a constant source of emotional support. Richa Sharan kept me honest and kept me laughing.

These drugr Nere known collectively as anti-anxiety agents or "minor" tranquilizers' and they were intended to alleviate mild to moderate anxiety, tension, and mental stress, From a medical standpoint, tranquilizing drugs were a practical and effective means of treating the many anxious and tense individuals who came to their doctors in search of relief, But, almost overnight, the use of these drugs became '- The term "minor" tranquilizer was used to distinguish these anti-anxiety agents :rom the "major" tranquilizers or anti-psychotic drugs. This distinction became more formalized by about 1957. Prior to that time, anti-anxiety agents and anti-psychotic drugs were often lumped together under the broader term "tranquilizer" in spite of the fact that they were chemically distinct drugs that were most often used to relieve very different symptoms. For example, minor tranquilizers were more effective in the treatrnent of neuroses, anxiety, and anxiety-related illnesses such as psychosomatic disorders and f~undtheir greatest use among the general pcpulation. %y contrast, major tranquilizers, which first appeared on the pharmaceutical market in 1953, were particularly effective in the treatment of psychoses such as schizophrenia and found their greatest use in institutional settings. For ar? early discussion of the ernerging distinction between major and minor tranquilizing drugs, see D.R. Kennedy, "Tranquilizers -- Part 1, " Canadian Pharmaceutical Journal 9O,8 (August 1957) , 61-2. The word "tranquilizer" can also be written as "tranquillizer" but, in the interest of consistency, the term will be spelled with only one "1" throughout this work. something of a mass cultural phenornenon. Meprobamate was the firçt and best known of the anti- anxiety agents to come ont0 the pharrnaceutical market during the 1950s. It was introduced into popular use in Canada and the United States in April 1955 by Wallace Laboratories of New Brunswick, New Jersey under the brand name Miltown (Illustration 1) . A few months later, Wallace made an arrangement with Wyeth Laboratories of New York which gave Nyeth permission to distribute meprobamate in Canada and the United States under the brand name Equanil. According to Al1 drugs were given at least three names: a chemical name, a nonproprietary/proper name, and a proprietary/brand name. The chemical name described the chemical composition of the drug. The chernical name for meprobarnate was 2-rnethyl-2-n-propyl-1,3-propanediol dicarbarnate. The nonproprietary/proper name was used by al1 producers of the drug as a means of identification. It was also the name by which the drug was known in the scientific literâture. The nonproprietarÿ/proper name was

    49th Annual Meeting of the American Osler Society Sir William Osler, quoting Leigh Hunt, “Abou Ben Adhem” Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Hotel Omni Mont-Royal 49th Annual Meeting of the AMERICAN OSLER SOCIETY Sunday, May 12th – Wednesday, May 15th, 2019 Hotel Omni Mont-Royal Montréal, Canada Credit: Karen Koshof The Osler Niche contains the ashes of Sir William Osler and Lady Osler, as well as those of Osler’s dear cousin and first Librarian of the Osler Library, W.W. Francis. The Niche was designed with Osler’s wishes in mind. Its realization was not far off the vision imagined by Osler’s alter ego Egerton Yorrick Davis in “Burrowings of a Bookworm”: I like to think of my few books in an alcove of a fire-proof library in some institution that I love; at the end of the alcove an open fire-place and a few easy chairs, and on the mantelpiece an urn with my ashes and my bust or portrait through which my astral self, like the Bishop at St. Praxed’s, could peek at the books I have loved, and enjoy the delight with which kindred souls still in the flesh would handle them. Course Objectives Upon conclusion of this program, participants should be able to: Describe new research findings in the history of medicine. Outline the evolution of medicine in a particular disease. List professional contributions made by others in medicine. Intended Audience The target audience includes physicians and others interested in Osler, medical history and any of the medically oriented humanities who research and write on a range of issues.

Stahnisch (Guest Editor)1 Abstract: The processes of long-term migration of physicians and scholars affect both the academic migrants and their receiving environments in often dramatic ways. On the one side, their encounter confronts two different knowledge traditions and personal values. On the other side, migrating scientists and academics are also confronted with foreign institutional, political, economic, and cultural frameworks when trying to establish their own ways of professional knowledge and cultural adjustments. The twentieth century has been called the century of war and forced migration: it witnessed two devastating World Wars, which led to an exodus of physicians, scientists, and academics. Nazism and Fascism in the 1930s and 1940s, forced thousands of scientists and physicians away from their home institutions based in Central and Eastern Europe.

  • Departmental Acknowledgement
    DEPARTMENTAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Hi Everyone This week's Departmental Acknowledgement goes to F Clarke Fraser, Professor Emeritus of our Department and is based on his induction earlier this week into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame. The Canadian Medical Hall of Fame is physically located in London, Ontario and was established in 1994. With his induction, Clarke joins in the Hall's distinguished ranks another McGill Department of Pediatrics and Montreal Children's Hospital luminary, Charles Scriver. Indeed, two other "pediatric" superstars from McGill, Sir William Osler (who wrote a monumental work on cerebral palsy) and Maud Abbott (who defined the concept and pathogenesis of congenital heart disease) are charter members of the Hall. After a childhood mostly spent in Jamaica, Clarke was educated at Acadia University before coming to McGill to undertake a PhD with Arthur Steinberg followed by medical studies in which he failed anatomy and two other courses. Perhaps he can be excused for this by the observation that he was simultaneously teaching undergraduate courses in biometry and developmental genetics (!). Upon graduation, he remained at McGill and the MCH and under the tutelage of Alton Goldbloom and later Alan Ross embarked on a truly legendary career at the MCH from 1950-1999 (with the exception of 3 years spent in Newfoundland in the early '80s). Clarke was responsible for the establishment of the MCH's Medical Genetics Division, where he was an active participant in the truly revolutionary advances that swept the field. Clarke was a pioneering figure in dysmorphology, teratology, and genetic counseling. He formulated the multifactorial threshold model and coined the terms 'anomalad' and 'natural insemination donor' (he always had a great dry sense of humor) and predicted the advent of genetic engineering.
