	Indeed, while Elliotson's elimination ensured production of the Syrup ceased permanently, thus cutting off one of Starrick's principal revenue streams, it also caused the asylum to close down. As well as this, medical care throughout the city was in disarray, as people turned to counterfeit tonics in the Syrup's absence. Meanwhile, genuine medicine was being stolen and sold to the highest bidders; thankfully, the situation would improve after [[Florence Nightingale]] began petitioning for regulations.<ref name="~~Overdose~~"/>		Indeed, while Elliotson's elimination ensured production of the Syrup ceased permanently, thus cutting off one of Starrick's principal revenue streams, it also caused the asylum to close down.

In 1868, Elliotson began producing ''[[Starrick's Soothing Syrup]]'', a medicinal tonic that many of London's residents became dependent on, thus strengthening the Order's control over the city's population. For this reason, he was targeted by both the [[Assassins\|Assassin]] [[Jacob Frye]] and fellow scientist [[Charles Darwin]], the former of whom eventually killed Elliotson at the Lambeth Asylum, ending production of the Syrup.
