Medications with little demonstrable value (8)

I believe the answer is:

nostrums

(Other definitions for nostrums that I've seen before include "Quack remedies" , "quack medicines" , "Panaceas or cure-alls" , "Questionable medicines" , "Hypothetical remedies for all ills" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
