538 [The Power of Sulfonamides]
"The Miracle Elixir of the Century Comes Out, the Great Discovery of Oriental Wizards"
A panacea for all ills, bringing good news to the citizens of London
"Count Russell, who was seriously ill, was saved by aminosulfonamide"
The discovery of sulfonamides is undoubtedly one of the greatest medical achievements of the past century.
"The dying septic patient, miraculously ushered in a new life"
"Damesulfonamide - the nemesis of meningitis!" 》
《……》
Londoners have a habit of reading newspapers, and even many homeless people have to pick up newspapers to read. When people wake up early in the morning, they are immediately greeted by an overwhelming amount of information about sulfonamides, and the article lists a large number of sulfonamide drugs that can cure diseases.
In particular, Count Russell's pneumonia was cured by vibenesulfonamide in three hours. This is not a nonsense story, Russell mentioned it in his own article, which makes people have to believe it.
As a result, various patients took the initiative to ask the doctor to prescribe sulfonamides. Many doctors were confused because they didn't have the drug in their hands, but Ernis sent a large number of salesmen to the hospital to promote it.
In just a few days, a large number of patients who have been cured by sulfonamides have emerged.
In particular, meningoccal meningitis, pneumonia and sepsis, which are currently very difficult to treat without any specific medicine. But sulfamsulfonamide fills the void, and both doctors and patients rejoice.
Ernis hired more than a dozen reporters to go to London's hospitals to interview doctors and patients, and then write about the recovery of the disease.
In just half a month, the publicity cost cost 10,000 pounds, which is a huge amount of money!
But the publicity effect was very good, not only the major hospitals in London took the initiative to buy sulfonamides, but even other parts of the UK have sent orders. Many family doctors of nobles and wealthy businessmen also had to bring sulfonamides when they went out, and even heard that the old king, who was sick all year round, was also taking sulfonamide.
For a time, dafenesulfonamide became synonymous with elixir in Britain.
With the current production capacity of the pharmaceutical plant, the supply of sulfonamides will soon outstrip supply. Ernis hurriedly expanded the scale of production, and at the same time directly increased the price of sulfonamide by two times, anyway, no matter how expensive it is, some people will buy it.
As for the problem that the poor can't afford medicine, Guan Onis is a, the poor die and die.
Sulfonamides can sell so well thanks to London's environmental pollution. At this time, toxic sewage and toxic gases were discharged everywhere in London, without any treatment, and the air was filled with all kinds of foul odors and sulfur smells.
It is difficult for a worker who has been engaged in the production of toxic factories for many years to live past the age of 40. Even white-collar workers in the office are very prone to respiratory diseases such as pneumonia, lung cancer, and influenza.
What is the smog in Beijing in the future?
London is the most authentic fog capital, the first in the world, don't compete!
This continued until the '50s, when more than 4,000 people died in just four days on the streets of London, and more than 8,000 more died of respiratory diseases in the next two months.
Therefore, sulfonamide is a blessing for the people of London, because too many people are infected with pneumonia, and sulfonamide is a special medicine for pneumonia.
The more factories in London and the more polluting they are, the better sulfonamides sell!
Many wealthy aristocrats and businessmen even regarded sulfaminethamide as a health care product and ate a few tablets at home.
The results can be imagined......
The biggest side effect of sulfonamides is that they are difficult to decompose, and you must continue to drink water and urinate after taking the drug to get rid of the remaining drugs in the body. But this situation is not clear to anyone, including researchers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and doctors, and it is naturally impossible to alert patients.
As a result, the stupid person who has been taking sulfamine sulfamamide for a long time often doubts his life when he pees. The relief is only low back pain, chicken pain, severe direct blood in the urine, urinary tract occlusion, and even inability to pee.
It wasn't until more than half a year after the birth of sulfamin that people realized that it had strong side effects. If this situation is placed in a few decades, it is estimated that the pharmaceutical company will go out of business, but there is no such problem today.
The law does not stipulate that pharmaceutical companies must inform of side effects, as for hellish side effects, if there are no side effects, it is still called a drug?
As long as you don't eat the dead, everything doesn't matter.
This is the golden age of capitalists, and in order to make money, it doesn't matter how many people die, let alone just can't pee.
Ernis was not only not criticized by public opinion, but after solving the problem of side effects, he was unanimously praised by all walks of life. He often followed Prince Albert in and out of high society, became a glamorous businessman, and I heard that he also took the opportunity to hook up with several noble ladies.
No way, Ernis is too handsome, the standard best old white face. He didn't even have to take the initiative to make a move, and some noblewomen came to post it upside down, and I heard that there were even two countesses who were jealous of him.
Due to its excellent bactericidal effect, amisulfonamide soon spread from the United Kingdom to all of Europe. So much so that even the United States, Japan and China, as far away as the United States, knew that Britain had given birth to an antibacterial miracle drug, and sent orders across the ocean.
And those major developed countries, with the exception of the Soviet Union, were all registered by Zhou Hexuan for the patent of sulfonamides. To this end, Zhou Hexuan sent people to buy real estate in 16 countries around the world, such as a small villa outside Tokyo.
Perhaps, only Germany, Italy and Japan after the outbreak of the war can unscrupulously copycat sulfonamides.
Well, Big Brother USSR was an exception. Like China, people don't understand what the Paris Convention is, and they don't recognize your international patents.
In 1933 alone, the net profit of sulfaminamide was as high as 300,000 pounds ($1.3 million). This is just the beginning, with the expansion of drug production and the increase in sales, next year's net profit can easily exceed 500,000 pounds, maybe 600,000 or 700,000 pounds is also entirely possible.
The pharmaceutical industry, no matter what era it is, is a huge profit.
Not only was Ernis so happy that he couldn't find North, but Prince Albert also smiled crookedly. He just invested a little money casually, and now he has a thousand-fold return on profits, this kind of business is faster than grabbing money.
Prince Albert no longer has self-confidence, no longer has a sense of existence, he is also a prince.
In order to protect his own interests, Albert automatically stood up and acted as the umbrella of the pharmaceutical company, telling all the capitalists who dared to covet sulfonamides to get out. This is equivalent to issuing a royal certificate to sulfonamide, which has an undesecrated sacred status.
With the expansion of pharmaceutical profits, Prince Albert even publicly stated: "Sulfonamides are the pride of Britain, the strongest weapon of mankind to defeat disease, and the greatest discovery in the field of medicine!" ”
I heard that Prince Albert also took the initiative to write letters to celebrities and scholars and major medical institutions, hoping to nominate Zhou Hexuan and Aldrich, the two discoverers of sulfonamides, to be shortlisted for next year's Nobel Prize in Medicine.
