| has gloss | (noun) medicine that is protected by a patent and available without a doctor's prescription patent medicine |
| has gloss | eng: Patent medicine refers to medical compounds of questionable effectiveness sold under a variety of names and labels. The phrase is somewhat misleading because for the most part these products were trademarked, not patented (most avoided the patent process so as not to reveal products' often hazardous and questionable ingredients). In ancient times, such medicine was called nostrum remedium ("our remedy" in Latin). The name patent medicine has become particularly associated with the sale of drug compounds in the nineteenth century under an array of colourful names and even more colourful claims. |
