There would appear to be few more difficult assignments in historical review than that of covering the multitude of items in the field of medical science—and what was mostly not science—with which the American Pediatric Society was concerned during its growth and development. When one remembers that, at the time of its birth in 1888, such procreators as its first president, Abraham Jacobi (who also became President of the American Medical Association), William Osler, Job Lewis Smith, Luther Emmett Holt, William Pepper, Victor C. Vaughan, and Henry Dwight Chapin were just beginning to accept the revolution of Louis Pasteur and Lister, one can well imagine the authors' problem of unfolding, in adequate sequence, the rapidly developing panorama of pediatric medicine.

AbstractThe attitudes of physicians and drug manufacturers in the US toward patenting pharmaceuticals changed dramatically from the mid-nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth. Formerly, physicians and reputable manufacturers argued that pharmaceutical patents prioritized profit over the advancement of medical science. Reputable manufactures refused to patent their goods and most physicians shunned patented products. However, moving into the early twentieth century, physicians and drug manufacturers grew increasingly comfortable with the idea of pharmaceutical patents. In 1912, for example, the American Medical Association dropped the prohibition on physicians holding medical patents. Shifts in wider patenting cultures therefore transformed the ethical sensibilities of physicians.
