Passiflora, or passionflower, was used as a "calmative agent and sedative... or nighttime sleep-aid." Passiflora was also applied to hemorrhoids, skin burns, erysipelas, or internally for neuralgia.
Edward Buckingham Shuttleworth created the E. B. Shuttleworth Chemical Company Limited in 1879 (the name was from 1896), and was the first director of the teaching faculty of the Ontario College of Pharmacy from 1882 to 1891.
