Title:
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, Contained Morphine
Caption:
This product for teething children contained morphine. Visual motif: Showing a mother in bed with her children; she is reading a newspaper advertisement for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. In 1912 Congress enacted the Sherley Amendment. It prohibited labeling medicines with false therapeutic claims intended to defraud the purchaser, a standard difficult to prove. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup for teething and colicky babies, unlabeled yet laced with morphine, killed many infants.
