The Manhattan Athletic Club, once located on the southeast corner of Madison Avenue and 45th street, was, in its brief period, one of the most exclusive and successful athletic clubs in the nation. In 1898, Into that aristocratic environment came a story of intrigue, a love triangle, patent medicines, and a trial of the century for murder most foul.

My mother is from Baltimore for many generations. The bromo seltzer tower was a landmark by the time I was born. My great grandfather had a business in the building. My grandfather was a DJ for a Jazz radio station in the tower. This story is so interesting. I wish my mom was alive. So we could watch together

Neosporin (I think that’s what you’re referring to) was trademarked to Burroughs, Wellcome & Co. In 1953. The patent for the compound was granted two years prior to Frank Edwin Stern and Jens Thuroe Carstinsen as assignors to American Cyanamid Co. It is actually unknown who truly invented antibiotic ointment, but it was not commercially available until the early 1950s

This reminded me of a time I received an invitation to try out the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis. I still have no idea how that happened. So, I took advantage of my free visits but noted the other men there. Lunch was fantastic and all I had to do was sign the second free meal receipt. A week later I received a nice thank you mailer that then listed the costs of membership. Uh, no I really didn't fit in with the upper crust. Going to my neighborhood gym was more fitting for me. After your good report I wonder if I got out in time.

The good old days.

I excitedly thought this was a video about the history of bromoseltzer. Which actually has a pretty interesting history. It originally contained sodium bromide (hence the name). Bromide salts like sodium bromide or potassium bromide were popular "sedatives" in the days before barbiturates were discovered. The problem with bromide is it stays in the body for a long time. So if you took it on a regular basis, it would accumulate to toxic levels over time. Which led to bromide salts being phased out in favour of barbiturates once they came along and bromo seltzer removing bromide salts from their formulation. Nowadays, sodium bromide is actually still sold over the counter... as a pool chemical lol. I'm sure you have a lot on your plate and are probably researching a video as I type this. But, it would be nice to see this covered at some point. I think a lot of people would find it interesting. But that's your call.

I was familiar with this case because of the evidentiary rule in the first trial. The trial court's decision was (IMO) correct. Molineux's motive to kill the first victim was different than his motive to kill Cornish - one for love, the other power. The method he used was the same - poison by mail (This was going on all over the country). By comparison, in Lizzie Borden's case - there was evidence that she had attempted to purchase poison as a weapon; she allegedly used an ax. This was excluded from trial and probably would have ensured her conviction.
