ANTIQUES
MAKE SURE IT'S
THE REAL THING! by Wayne
Mattox
After fighting for the confederacy during
the civil war, John Pemberton moved to Atlanta,
Georgia where he specialized in the mixing and
vending of various patent medicines. The
pharmacist claimed that one of his recipes, a
Bordeaux laced with caffeine (from the seed of
an African kola tree) and cocaine, would cure
sluggishness, nervous disorders, headaches,
internal plumbing, and improve sexual
performance. Not surprisingly, French Wine of
Coca, was his best seller.
