Drug Manufacturing Plant Closing
In 2011, Ben Venue in Bedford, Ohio, a division of the German drug maker Boehringer Ingelheim, voluntarily halted its drug manufacturing. In the U.S. Food and Drug Administration inspectors' report, the plant had rusty tools, mold, and a barrel of 'unknown liquid'. The barrel of 'unknown liquid' was later found to be urine. The company has invested USD $300 million to upgrade the drug manufacturing plant and limited production resumed in October 2012.

“Whoever grows angry amid troubles applies a drug worse than the disease and is a physician unskilled about misfortunes.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make man better be,
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May
Although it fall and die that night;
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportions we just beauties see,
And in short measures life may perfect be.”
—Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
“Although sleep pressed upon my closing eyelids, and the moon, on her horses, blushed in the middle of the sky, nevertheless I could not leave off watching your play; there was too much fire in your two voices.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
