In 1906 Dr. Wilfred Grenfell, founder and head of the Grenfell medical mission of northern Newfoundland and southeastern Labrador, published a short article in Putnam's Monthly about a nine-year-old boy named Clem Richards, who had shot himself in the knee while hunting seabirds. The boy's identity was disclosed in full, with Grenfell including his name and image as well as a detailed description of his living conditions. The "story" of the boy's injury and recovery became a favourite of Grenfell's, and it was modified and republished in a number of magazines and books between 1906 and 1923. This article explores the appeal that Richards' accident held for Grenfell and argues that his dramatic mid-winter rescue of the boy helped Grenfell promote his mission and construct a public image of himself that would appeal to American readers and donors. By comparing published accounts with Richards' medical case record, however, we also see how much Grenfell distorted the incident to heighten its drama and reader appeal. The article also considers how the mission's dominance over northern Newfoundland and southeastern Labrador enabled Grenfell to use Richards' name and image for mission publicity with no consideration of patient consent.

Since the end of 1970, the World Health Organization has encouraged the development of public policies that expand the approach to care and the therapeutic possibilities offered by its member states beyond technoscientific health care. In Brazil, the institutionalization of this approach is related to the promotion of popular and traditional knowledge associated with the usage of medicinal plants. With this convergence as an argumentative horizon, in this ethnography we examine the institutionalization of pharmaceutical services that have become known in Brazilian public health policy as living pharmacies. This term has been mobilized throughout the history of phytotherapy in Brazil and refers to the possibility of instituting the use of medications that expand care approaches and problem resolution possibilities beyond the domain of the biomedical sciences, evoking alliances with so-called traditional and popular knowledge and practices. For this, we propose and discuss the concept of neo-traditional medicines as a comprehensive-interpretative category, verifying the approximation and distancing points assigned to it in contemporaneous anthropological literature. Beyond the domain of science over other fields of knowledge, we argue in favour of this category in order to present new arrangements and social dynamics that define Brazil's medication policies.

Neo-Traditional Medicines: Ethnographic Contributions to Conceptual Definition

新传统药物：民族志对概念定义的贡献

In early modern Europe, the global dimensions of the drug trade and the introduction of new substances contributed to the development of new cultures of intoxication. This process was particularly evident in England, where a new intoxication culture emerged from the recognition of how different substances produced similar reactions. Medical travel literature provides a critical source for examining alternative methods of drug consumption in the non-Western world in this period: culturally embedded practices like Turkish opium eating or Native American tobacco smoking became significant benchmarks for comparing with Western habits of alcohol consumption. This article argues that the early modern Western medical community relied on comparisons of intoxication in other contexts in an effort to describe its own culturally embedded practices of alcohol intoxication.

This article traces the transformation of the system of control and repression of Brazilian pharmaceutical activities between the 1930s and the 1970s, through a Foucauldian framework of "differential management of illegalisms." The period between 1930 and 1960 can be understood as a process of negotiation between pharmacists and state agencies that achieved a compromise on the differential management of illegalisms in relation to drugs, with a clear distinction between "laymen" and "professionals." This compromise came into question during the dictatorship, due to institutional transformations that reinforced the autonomy of institutions of repression and a military struggle against subversion and corruption. Pharmacists and laymen alike were considered potential suspects. This suspicion even extended to the civilian agencies that were at the core of the regulation of the licit drug market. These developments profoundly changed the way illegalisms committed by professionals and state officials were treated, blurring the boundaries that had been established between laymen, professionals, inspectors, and industrialists. The final section of the article focuses on the various ways in which institutions of repression focused on pharmacists and state regulatory control agencies as potential places of subversive activity or corruption.

Articles published between 1956 and 1972 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) and the Canadian Psychiatric Association Journal (CPAJ) reflect the Canadian medical community's certain interest in mental retardation during this period. Much of the scientific production in this area at that time seems to have been aimed at alleviating the economic burden of mental retardation by making the mentally retarded person autonomous and capable of performing an economic function. This article intends to highlight this ambition to discipline the mentally retarded through the study of the CMAJ and CPAJ articles. It begins with a discussion of the diagnosis of mental retardation, followed by a discussion of the treatments, care and services to be offered. The last part of this text deals with the discourse conveyed in the two journals regarding the mentally retarded that seems unable to live outside of the institution and perform an economic function.Les articles publiés entre 1956 et 1972 au sein du Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) et du Canadian Psychiatric Association Journal (CPAJ) témoignent d’un certain intérêt de la communauté médicale canadienne pour le retard mental. Celle-ci se préoccupe tout particulièrement du poids économique que représente – d’après elle – le « retardé mental » et de la capacité de ce dernier à atteindre une autonomie suffisante pour être productif. Dans cet article, nous mettons en lumière l’ambition de disciplinarisation du retardé mental qui transparaît du corpus analysé. Nous analysons d’abord les propos tenus sur le diagnostic de retard mental, puis ceux portant sur les traitements, les soins et les services jugés pertinents. Enfin, nous examinons le discours véhiculé dans les deux revues sur les échecs de l’entreprise médicale d’autonomisation et de majoration économique du retardé mental.

Through the late-twentieth century, physicians endorsed the denial of life-saving surgeries to infants because they had Down syndrome. Grim physician assessments of the inevitable burden of Down syndrome found ideological footing in the 1970s crusade to eradicate the condition, a public health goal made possible by new genetic diagnostics and a weakened abortion law. What is most striking about this physician-sanctioned passive euthanasia is that it persisted even in an era of unprecedented expansion of disability rights. Physician endorsement of the euthanasia of infants with Down syndrome offers a powerful corrective to the notion that post-war Canada was marked by waning support for eugenics. Medically sanctioned euthanasia of babies because of their Down syndrome, eugenics of the most extreme type, thrived in late-twentieth century Canada.

Between 1867 and 1933, the understanding of leprosy within the colonial medical establishment in Bombay city was fractured on two issues: whether leprosy was contagious and whether individuals with leprosy should be segregated. This article explores how legislation paved the way for resolving these issues in Bombay between 1867 and 1933. Furthermore, the article seeks to problematize the notion of "diseased bodies" or "lepers" through legislation to protect healthy individuals from possible degeneration. Leprosy in Bombay reflected the anxieties of the city's business elite who were averse to accommodating patients from other parts of British India. In addition, the article studies leprosy and "lepers" by analyzing archival documents and public health reports within the context of Bombay city.
