"The Oversexed Woman: Relief and Control Under Bromide Sedation" is the title of a 1951 booklet written by a doctor in 1951. I found it in a used bookstore last year.
The drug prescribed was Neurosine. So I looked the drug up an it turns out Neurosine is now the same bromide drug as Buspar, the anti-depressant currently still in use.
Sometimes, the world is just too crazy and I don't want to know anymore. Then I come back here and I change my mind :)
