Noref date October 2009 The term ex juvantibus from Latin , meaning from that which helps refers, in medical contexts, to the process of making an inference about disease causation from an observed response of the disease to a treatment. For example, taking the case of a patient whose headache had been alleviated by taking aspirin, an ex juvantibus line of reasoning would state that the headaches were caused by low levels of aspirin in the brain. Obviously, the fact that aspirin cures headaches does not prove that headaches are caused by the absence of aspirin. In The 21 Century Brain 2006 , Steven Rose applies the term to the use of psychoactive drugs to cure depression, implying that the underlying cause of depression is not simply low levels of certain chemicals in the brain such as serotonin that these drugs treat. The phrase does not necessarily connote a fallacy. For example, a patient presents with retrosternal pain which is not relieved by sublingual nitrates a standard remedy for angina pectoris but is relieved with antacid s a standard remedy for heartburn . In such a case, a physician may hypothesize ex juvantibus what the underlying problem may or may not be, until a definitive diagnosis is established. med stub Category Latin words and phrases Category Latin medical phrases ... more details

Beeman in the late 19th century. History Beeman originally marketed the gum, which is made of pepsin powder and chicle , as an aid to digestion. It became a part of the American Chicle Company in 1898, and continued on after the purchase of American Chicle by Warner Lambert in 1962. Production ceased in 1978 due to lagging sales. In 1985, as part of a nostalgia campaign, it was brought back to the market along with Clove and Black Jack gum Black Jack chewing gums. The original wrapper had a pig logo , but was later replaced with a logo featuring the Beeman s name in scroll and a picture of Dr. Beeman. The current wrapper design has a white and red background with white and black lettering. Beemans is sporadically produced by Cadbury Adams as a nostalgia gum, along with the other historic gums Clove and Black Jack gum Black Jack . Since then, because of regular demand, all three brands have been introduced with huge popularity. The gum was prominently featured in the movies The Right Stuff film The Right Stuff , Hot Shots , and The Rocketeer film The Rocketeer . While it has been considered the lucky gum of pilots, Beemans in fact became popular with aviators due to the antacid qualities of pepsin, useful due to the agitation of stomach acid in flight. This, combined with the ear pressure equalizing characteristics of chewing any type of gum, made Beemans a common sight in cockpits. The sporadic availability has led some aviators to buy it by the carton whenever possible.
