TAKE YOUR MEDICINE!
Throughout the years pharmacists
have been coming up with concoctions
to help us deal with what ales us. But
sometimes their products don't really
seem like medicine! Such was the case
in 1837 when two pharmacists, John Lea
and William Perrins came up with a mixture
that was too harsh to ingest. They stored it
in a basement but discovered the taste
had changed after the liquid fermented!
And on this day in 1837 they marketed their
new product... Worcestershire Sauce!
In was on this day in 1893 that pharmacist
Caleb Bradham came up with a medicine to
aid digestion. He called it "Brad's drink."
The name was eventually changed though
and you know it now as Pepsi Cola! Ah the
wonderful world of pharmaceuticals! Hope
you're taking all your medicians, that you're
well, and that all your NEWS is good!
