A few nice the pill side effects images I found:
Dock’s has closed

Image by Ed Yourdon
Dock’s, a fixture on Broadway, at 89th Street for the past 23 years, fell victim to the recession. Back in December of 2008, the restaurant displayed a large sign in the window (shown here) for what it called "half-price Tuesdays." It would be one thing if they offered the "house wine" for half-price during a "happy hour" period; but the sign seemed to suggest that you could order a really good hundred-dollar bottle of wine on Tuesday evenings, and save yourself …
But it apparently wasn’t enough; the restaurant closed down at the beginning of March, 2009. This new sign explains the closure; you can see the details here.
Note: this photo was published on an undated 2009 "Boorah" blog page describing "Broadway Restaurant Associates, New York." It was also published in a Nov 21, 2009 blog titled "Pictures of the Great Recession." It was also published in an undated (Jun 2010) Squidoo blog titled "The Great Recession is upon us, and while the situation seems to be slightly improving (fingers crossed)." It was also published in an undated (Aug 2010) blog titled "Nice signs of severe depression photos," and it was published in an Aug 11, 2010 blog titled "Q&A: What is the name of a severe depression pill?" It was also published in a Nov 22, 2010 Anger & Depression blog titled "How Will Granting Amnesty to Over 20 Million Plus Illegals Resolve California Job Losses as They Grow?," as well as another Nov 22, 2010 Anger & Depression blog titled "Dock’s Has Closed."
Moving into 2011, the photo was published in a Feb 2, 2011 blog titled "Signs Of Clinical Depression ? How To Cure Them Naturally." And it was published in a June 4, 2011 How To Start Restaurants blog.
***************
These are photos that I began taking in mid-December of 2008, after the government helpfully informed us that the recession (a word they had dared not use before, just as they refuse to use the word "depression" now) has actually been in effect since December 2007.
Having lived through roughly half a dozen previous recessions, with nothing but vague memories to mark their existence, I thought it would be useful to start gathering some photographic memories of the current one. It may or may not turn out to be as severe as the Great Depression of the 1930′s, and it may or may not produce the kind of grim photographs that we have of that era … but we won’t really know until it’s over, and our 20-20 hindsight might be better informed with some pictures.
Thus far, I have only a few pictures of signs showing steep discounts; these are interesting, but it’s the "human story" that I think will tell the more important story. Thus far, I’ve noticed an increase in the number of homeless peoplehe street, asking for money, food, and handouts; but I have no direct evidence that it’s associated with the recession itself. In any case, I’m reluctant to take advantage of such people by taking casual photos of them; I’m sure more appropriate opportunities will present themselves, and I’ll add them to the album as I find them…

Thalidomide – preparation of unusually wide margin of safety.
Thalidomide and Noxodyn is the Swedish brand name for sleeping agent and the sedative Thalidomide. In Denmark it is sold under the name Neosedyn and in Norway, the name Nevrodyn. Thalidomide was included as number 3294 of the pharmacy list of standard packaged drugs, the 1959 edition.
Starting in early 1959 sold the preparation of two degrees of strength, and tablets of 25 mg, and tablets of 100 mg. In April 1959, it makes a liquid version, thalidomide Mixture 100 ml, containing approximately 0.5 g of Thalidomide, ie the same amount as 5 x 100 mg tablets. Later, bottles of 300 ml of oral solution, a quantity equivalent to 15 tablets of the stronger sort of pills. Thalidomide-preparations are described in advertising as the most perfect sedative and hypnotic drug, virtually free of side effects.
Astra describes in a leaflet 1960 thalidomide as "a preparation of unusually wide margin of safety".
In autumn 1961 starts strong suspicion of Thalidomide-preparations teratogenic effects that are reported from several parts of the world. In Australia, an obstetrician named Mc Bride to mothers of three children extremity to which he was delivered, eaten Thalidomide tablets and no other medications during pregnancy. He informs in writing Grünenthal about this, but get no response. Then three more children with similar injuries were born at the same hospital, Mc Bride publishes his experiences in the international medical journal "The Lancet".
Thalidomide is a big seller for Grünenthal. In 1961 sales of Grünenthal thalidomide to a sale of a total of 12.4 million DM. Add to this the value of the exports, amounting to at least a quarter of the quantity sold in West Germany. Consumption this year is estimated at 1.3 tons per month.
Shortly after the Thalidomide goes on sale in West Germany, noted pediatrician, an alarming increase in the number of newborn babies with malformed limbs, sometimes accompanied by heart defects and abnormalities of internal organs. Around the same time as Mc Bride, in September 1961, draws attention to the German doctor Wiedemann, the new and seemingly widespread epidemic syndrome that has emerged in many places. The number of children born with severe extremities has increased to a level far beyond what had previously been average.
On October 27, 1961, the journal Die ärzliche Mitteilungen des Bundesärtzekammers, which goes out to 80,000 West German physician, in an article entitled "Conterganskador of the nervous system," explained the damage to the nervous system that, when studies at the University Clinic of Cologne reached.

Neurosedyn – preparatet med ovanligt bred säkerhetsmarginal
Neurosedyn och Noxodyn är det svenska varunamnet för sömnmedlet och det lugnande medlet Thalidomid. I Danmark säljs det under namnet Neosedyn och i Norge får det namnet Nevrodyn. Neurosedyn fanns upptaget som nummer 3294 i Apotekens förteckning över standardförpackade läkemedel, 1959 års utgåva.
Med start i början av 1959 säljs preparatet i två styrkegrader, dels tabletter om 25 mg, dels tabletter om 100 mg. I april 1959 kommer det i en flytande variant, Neurosedyn Mixtur 100 ml, innehållande cirka 0,5 g Thalidomid, dvs samma mängd som 5 st 100 mg tabletter. Senare kommer flaskor med 300 ml mixtur, en kvantitet som motsvarade 15 tabletter av den starkare sortens tabletter. Thalidomid-preparaten beskrivs i reklamen som det närmast perfekta lugnande och sömngivande läkemedlet, nära nog fritt från biverkningar.
Astra beskriver i en broschyr 1960 Neurosedyn som "ett preparat med ovanligt bred säkerhetsmarginal".
Under hösten 1961 börjar starka misstankar om Thalidomid-preparatens fosterskadande effekter att inrapporteras från flera håll i världen. I Australien finner en förlossningsläkare vid namn Mc Bride att mödrarna till tre extremitetsskadade barn som han förlöst, ätit Thalidomid-tabletter och inga andra mediciner under graviditeten. Han informerar skriftligen Grünenthal om detta, men får inget svar. Sedan ytterligare tre barn med liknande skador fötts vid samma sjukhus, publicerar Mc Bride sina erfarenheter i den internationella medicinska tidskriften "The Lancet".
Thalidomid är en storsäljare för Grünenthal. Under 1961 omsätter Grünenthal thalidomid till ett försäljningsvärde av totalt 12,4 miljoner DM. Till detta ska läggas värdet av exporten, som uppgår till åtminstonde en fjärdedel av den kvantitet som säljs i Västtyskland. Förbrukningen det året uppskattas till 1,3 ton per månad.
En kort tid efter det att Thalidomid börjar säljas i Västtyskland noterade barnläkare en oroväckande ökning av antalet nyfödda med missbildade armar och ben, ibland tillsammans med hjärtmissbildningar och missbildningar av andra inre organ. Ungefär samtidigt som Mc Bride, i september 1961, uppmärksammar den tyske läkaren Wiedeman det nya och till synes epidemiskt spridda syndrom som börjat uppträda på många håll. Antalet barn som fötts med svåra extremitetsmissbildningar har ökat till en nivå långt utöver det som tidigare varit genomsnittligt.
Den 27 oktober 1961 har tidskriften Die ärzliche Mitteilungen des Bundesärtzekammers, som går ut till 80 000 västtyska läkare, i en artikel med rubriken "Conterganskador i nervsystemet", redogjort för de skador på nervsystemet som man vid undersökningar på universitetskliniken i Köln kommit fram till.
