VINTAGE PAPER MEDICINE BOX DAROL CAPSULES ANALGESIC LAXATIVE MANUFACTURED BY MCKESSON ROBBINS NEW YORK NYC BRIDGEPORT CONNETICUT ABOUT THE SIZE OF A MATCHBOOK c. 1960 +/- ---------------------------------------------- FYI A laxative is a preparation used for encouraging defecation, or the expulsion of feces. Laxatives are most often taken to treat constipation. Certain stimulant, lubricant, and saline laxatives are used to evacuate the colon for rectal and bowel examinations. They are sometimes supplemented by enemas. Laxatives are often abused by bulimics or anorexics (nervosa). Laxative abuse is potentially serious since it can lead to intestinal paralysis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), pancreatitis, and other problems. There are several types of laxatives, listed below. Some laxatives combine more than one type of active ingredient to produce a combination of the effects mentioned. Laxatives may be oral or in suppository form. While there is no sex difference in constipation from a medical point of view, advertisers tend to promote some brands as being "More for a lady" than others. --------- The McKesson Robbins, Inc. scandal of 1938 was one of the major financial scandals of the 20th century. The company McKesson Robbins, Inc. (now McKesson Corporation) had been taken over in 1925 by Phillip Musica, who had previously used Adelphia Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company as a front for bootlegging operations. Musica, a twice-convicted felon, used assumed names to conceal his true identity in taking control of the two companies: Frank D. Costa at Adelphia Pharmaceutical and F. Donald Coster at McKesson Robbins. Although he was successful in expanding the company's legitimate business operations, Musica recruited three of his brothers, also working under assumed names, one outside the company and two inside it, to generate bogus sales documentation and to pay commissions to a shell distribution company under their control. Eventually, McKesson Robbins treasurer Julian Thompson discovered the distribution company was bogus. It was eventually determined that about $20 million (about $335 million in 2017 dollars) of the $87 million in assets on the company's balance sheet were phony. In December 1938, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) opened an investigation and Musica was arrested. Only after he was booked, fingerprinted and released on bond did the authorities realize that "Coster" was in reality Musica. His bond was revoked and he committed suicide before he could be rearrested. The McKesson Robbins scandal led to major corporate governance and auditing reforms. The SEC required that public companies have audit committees of "outside" directors and that the appointment of auditors be approved by the shareholders. The American Institute of Accountants (now the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants) adopted audit standards requiring that auditors verify accounts receivable and inventory.
