exactly what they say it is.. its a liquid medication dispenser. probably dates to the turn of the century...
 
Navy is right, and beat me to it. It's like liquor bottles at a bar to mix drinks. But this wheel holds several bottles of medication, or ingredients. To mix prescriptions.
Remember that back in the day many meds were liquidized cocaine and opium(morphine) with caffeine and whatever else they could find. Like Coca-cola (cocaine) Pepsi-cola (pepsin for indigestion) both of these started as medication. They then switched to a greater percentage of caffeine as an addictive substance after the original ingredients became controlled.
This is why the first soda/ice cream shops appeared in pharmacies. Soda pop needed to be mixed fresh from syrup and the meds and carbonated water. All things found at the pharmacy. When those meds became controlled the ingredients switched to more sugar and caffeine and ice cream.
People used to go for dates and get high at the pharmacy, now they go to the Burger joint.
But that wheel could have held anything. Like cough syrup or whatever.
 
It's also a little known fact that the Bayer corporation invented aspirin and heroin, and they used a very similar method, adding acetyl groups salicylic acid and morphine.
 
Well they marketed aspirin. The primary ingredient comes from a tree. But I know what you mean.
And they perfected (invented) heroin, who's primary ingredient comes from a plant.
Well yeah, if they took existing ingredients and recombined them into a more effective substance...yes they invented it. You are right.

Pharmaceutical companies are not healers. They are drug dealers. Says so right on the sign.
You'd be surprised to know what the University of Alberta diabetic ward told me about my insulin. These people invented the Edmonton Protocol. The first real cure, by transplanting islet cells. They know what they are doing. They are not crazy. They talked to me because at the time I was a mortician, and we kind of knew each other for business reasons.

They seriously believe pharmaceutical companies have created a designer virus, that they release into randomly selected lots of veterinary medication. This medication then goes to random vets and farmers. Who inject the standard meds into milk cows. Who produce milk. That gets picked up by trucks. That go to a dairy pasteurization plant. The milk goes in giant tanks to be processed. Packaged. Shipped to the grocery store. Sold to you and your kids.
Some, not all of the meds have the virus.
Some, not all farmers get those meds.
Some, not all cows get the virus.
Some, not all dairy farms produce infected milk.
Some, not all milk is infected.
Some, not all humans are affected.
Some have an autoimmune reaction triggered by the virus that causes the immune system to target islet cells and the source of insulin.
But they can't prove it. They say they know it's there. But there is so much clean meds coming in that they can't test all of it. They can't test all the cows in North America. They can't test all the milk jugs. How do you find a few hundred thousand viruses in a 50,000 gal tank?
And they need real hard proof. Because their careers will burn if they start talking smack in public. Why? Who do you think pays for their research grants?
Why would a pharmaceutical company do this? Insulin is fairly cheap, if you buy it like I do. But the strips to test blood glucose levels are about $1 each. X 10-15 tests/day. Forever.
Plus all the other crap I should be buying but don't.
The research is for a TREATMENT, not a cure. Just like AIDS and cancer.
And there are unusual spikes in many autoimmune diseases. Hmmm. All occurring about the same time in history. Hmmm. Are we poisoning the environment? Or are we the poisoned?

Heroin was used in cough suppressant for awhile. It's effective, just like other opioid drugs are. As far as your theory about medical companies poisoning people, I would like to think that the CDC, which employs some of the smartest people in the medical world, would know about this.

What makes you think they don't?
And it's not my theory. It came from the U of A diabetic research center. Some of the most qualified and knowledgeable specialists on the planet.

Even though Canadian doctors discovered insulin and the treatment of diabetes by animal analogs (recovering at time of slaughter and using the insulin produced in animals such as pigs, sheep and even fish) in 1921, I buy my insulin from the U.S.A.
Eli Lilly corporation. The first to market a synthetic analog "lispro" trade name "Humalog" of the "Humalin" strain. Produced by recombinant DNA sequencing. Through this process artificial strands of protein can be created and manipulated to perform the functions of, and alter the functions of, naturally generated protein.
This synthetic analog was produced not for the benefit of diabetics. But to prove the technology of recombinant DNA sequencing.
It was a practice run, on a relatively simple protein strand. In hopes that funding (and deregulation) could be obtained for further experimentation into more complex DNA re-sequencing. And far more profitable areas of DNA manipulation.

One way Elli Lilly lobbied for deregulation, was to offer falsified data to the Food and Drug Administration. Claiming that a world shortage of animal analog was to occur in 1982. They intentionally changed the production estimates from pounds to kilograms, but listed that number as pounds. Making it appear that the world production of animal analog was less than half of reality.
How does an American company suddenly switch from pounds to kilograms, if not with purpose?
The purpose being that an impending world wide shortage of animal analog would force the FDA to deregulate use of recombinant DNA sequencing. Thereby fulfilling the market shortage and saving the lives of millions.
However, the production of artificial insulin was not the end goal of the pharmaceutical producers. It was to open deregulation into unlimited areas of genetic manipulation, and unlimited profit.
A simple mistake you say? Pounds to kilograms and back again. Maybe. It has happened before. That space probe crashing on Mars for the sake of Miles/Kilometers rings a bell.
But when it happens at exactly the same time Elli Lilly is in world wide race to explore new areas of genetic manipulation, and adds fuel to their efforts to deregulate the American market so that they too can compete on a global scale...looks a little fishy don't you think?


But the market was not interested in this "new and improved" and more expensive insulin. The market was already flooded with a supply of cheap, well practiced and highly purified animal analog. There was no need for this new artificial insulin, or for deregulation of recombinant DNA sequencing. Until the pharmaceutical companies pulled the existing supply. And forced us to buy what they offered, at a higher rate. To subsidize further research into the capabilities of artificial DNA re-sequencing. Into areas unknown and unintended by the FDA.

I buy from the U.S.A. Because while I distrust American corporate giants, I am German. And I know from my own history you should never blink while staring down a German.
Most of the major pharmaceutical players in the world are German. Existing companies used by the Nazis during the war. Or founded by ex-Nazis after the war. Do a little research. See who was/is at the helm. See what atrocious things they have done.
These company structures are based on success at all cost. Not very different than any other capitalist enterprise. Not very different than the American company I patronize. Profit profit profit. Profit is all.
They are not in business to cure anything. They are in business to treat everything as a chronic illness. To keep us alive and paying as long as possible. To keep us the living dying.
To cure us means an end to guaranteed profit.
These companies have yearly profit margins that make Arms Dealers look low rent. They have the money and influence to lobby governments as they will.

I don't suggest that all the good people on the side of control and safety have been corrupted. But likely, some of them have been.
Is it not possible that pharmaceutical companies (like Tobacco and Chemical and Arms and Oil etc) have over the years "stacked the deck" of regulation. To make it almost imposable for the good people, who are honestly trying to protect us, to do their job?
How can a very few underfunded and over worked, catch everything? How can they know everything? They are just humans. Just cogs in the machine. And like you, they are basically decent. And so believe the world is basically decent. They don't want to think of conspiracies. They don't think that a drug that was meant to help is intentionally laced with harm.
And the FDA regulates and tests known existing and proposed drugs. They don't often go back and personally check quality control. And when they do they are looking for what is supposed to be in it. They are checking contamination and mercury levels etc. They are not looking for and will not see a virus that they don't know they are looking for.
And this virus is in veterinary medication. Not human. Never to be used on humans. Many steps away from a human. Are you sure that whatever screening process exists is as intensive for bovine drugs? Are you sure that even if they are looking for it, that they always hit on the random batch? Or do they see nothing this time, and assume there is nothing always?

Are you sure the Center for Disease Control is not suspicious? Ask them why the incidents of type one diabetes is skyrocketing.
No it's not because we are eating too much fat and sugar. That has nothing to do with lack of insulin production. And Type One has nothing to do with Type Two. Type Two's produce insulin. They are are missing other things that help them use insulin effectively. They are resistant to the insulin they make for themselves.
Type Two used to be called Adult Onset Diabetes. No longer. Because it is effected by, but not caused by, our poor diet.
Type One used to be called Juvenile Onset Diabetes. Because it was caused by a naturally occurring defect. Anyone who was susceptible was well on their way to death by the age of ten. The cause of this disease has only begun to be understood recently. But it is described in medical journals centuries old as "The Wasting Disease" or similar names. (not confused with T.B.) The symptoms were well known. But not the cause. And it was almost never seen in adults, unless explained by recent physical trauma.
So why now? Why in all of our history has our very essence been altered?

And if they do find something, it becomes a choice. Do they keep their comfy job and feed their family? Or start blowing whistles? They have seen how others have been destroyed for much less.
And the people that make this stuff? They are not corrupted. They are just cogs of the machine. They do their small job. And go home to their families. They fill an order and ship it out. They don't necessarily know what was in it, exactly.
Yes, much of the world is good and pure of heart. But not all of it.
It only takes a few, with much money and power, to run the world as they want.
You don't have to believe any of it.
I'm just telling you what the most knowledgeable people on the planet believe.

Yes it is.
And often enough, those theories are true.
