Their use expanded during the Jackson an era as Americans rebelled against traditional doctors and enthusiastically endorsed: quackery. Increasing urbanization and industrialization also fed the market for patent medicines, as new drugs were needed to combat epidemics. But these: sales, by mid-century, were due to two non- medical events.Patent legislation in 1793 made it possible for manufactures, to protect their product against counterfeiters. But most manufacturers did not seek patents on the formulas for their medicines, since these were often combinations of common products like alcohol and vegetable extracts which they preferred not to reveal. Instead, they sought patents on the shape of the bottle, promotional materials, and label information.The number of newspapers-published in the country grew from 200 during Jeffersons administration to over 4000 at the time of Lincolns presidency. The penny press, begun by Benjamin Day in 1833 was marketed at a mass audience and cost just one cent per issue. To recover revenue lost from subscription prices, Day and others sought profits through advertising. Patent medicine was perfect product to advertise in penny papers since its sensational claims buttressed the sensational bent of the news and stories in them.“Lydia Pinkhams Vegetable Compound” was the most, successful patent medicine of the century, and Mrs. Pinkhams face was known across the country. Like most Americans, she was convinced that Divine Providence had stocked the promised land with vegetables and herbs unknown elsewhere, which could cure disease. Mrs. Pinkham received the basic formula for her nostrum as payment for a debt owed by her husband. As a result of severe economic hardships for her family, she began heavy promotion of the medicine in Boston newspapers in 1876, and her son attached his mothers picture to the product. Thus was born modem advertising. Mrs. Pinkham was popular with her female followers for her feminist bent, and for the fact that she encouraged them to write her for advice. An analysis of the compound by the AMA in 1914 revealed that it was 20 percent alcohol, with the rest made of vegetable extracts.1.What aspect of patent medicine does the passage mainly discuss?2.The author implies that which of the following was the reason why most manufacturers preferred not to seek patents on their medicines?3.According to paragraph 3, the result of marketing the penny press at a mass audience was（ ）.4.Which of the following did patent medicine and the penny press have in common, according to the passage?5.Why does the author mention Mrs. Pinkharns photo?问题1选项A.The dangersB.Why is was so popularC.As an example of quackeryD.The most successful products问题2选项A.They made mare money from the bottle than the contentsB.They considered it wasnt necessary because of the high demand for these produc
