TYLENOL
Along with gravity and potato
chips, Tylenol is one of history’s
great accidental discoveries. In
1886, a pair of German medical
students were treating a patient’s
intestinal worms (ew) when they
mistakenly dosed her with a
chemical cocktail that her body
metabolized into acetaminophen.
The patient’s fever broke. Aceta-
minophen became popular
across Europe, and in 1955,
the Philadelphia family running
McNeil Laboratories, a pharma-
ceutical company, brought the
drug to America as Tylenol Elixir
for Children, a prescription- only
antipyretic packaged like a tiny
red fire truck and marketed “for
little hotheads.” The marketing,
and the medicine, worked. Today,
Tylenol heals hot heads (large
and little) in 13 countries.
