Bromo-Seltzer


Bromo-Seltzer (acetaminophen, sodium bicarbonate, and citric acid), was a brand of antacid to relieve pain occurring together with heartburn, upset stomach, or acid indigestion. First produced by inventor Isaac E. Emerson's drug company of Baltimore, Maryland, in 1888, Bromo-Seltzer was sold in the United States in the form of effervescent granules which were to be mixed with water before ingestion. The product took its name from a component of the original formula, sodium bromide. Each dose contained 3.2 mEq/teaspoon

Built in the Brutalist architecture style of poured concrete, the station has lines echoing the surviving tower to its south and west. It was the tallest building in Baltimore from 1911 until 1923. The design of the tower along with the original factory building at its base was inspired by the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, Italy, which was seen by Emerson during a tour of Europe in 1900.

Their sedative effect probably accounted for Bromo-Seltzer's popularity as a remedy for hangovers. Early formulas also used, as the analgesic ingredient, acetanilide, now known as a poisonous substance. Bromo-Seltzer's main offices and main factory were located in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, at the corner of West Lombard and South Eutaw Streets. The factory's most notable feature was the clock tower,

As with the earlier and less potent dihydrofuran series of compounds nicknamed "FLY", Bromo-DragonFLY was named after its superficial structural resemblance to a dragonfly. The hallucinogenic effect of bromo-DragonFLY is mediated by its agonist activity at the 5-HT serotonin receptor. Bromo-DragonFLY also has a high binding affinity for the 5-HT and 5-HT serotonin receptors, and is most accurately described as a non-subtype selective 5-HT agonist, as it is actually twice as potent an agonist for 5-HT receptors
