What is Hadacol?

Hadacol was a patent drug popular in the United States in the age of 40. Dudley Leblanc, Louisiana entrepreneur and State Senator were developed and sold. Leblanc claimed that he came across a recipe when his own doctor gave a seemingly miraculous treatment that, as Leblanc said, brought him back from the point of death. Leblanc made an outrageous demand for a drug, marketing it as a medicine for virtually every disease, including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, epilepsy and hay fever. Hadacol enjoyed great popularity on the US market, although it consisted mainly of alcohol and vitamins and had little healing. Many of them believe that the Marketing techniques of Leblanc strongly accepted the American tradition of the American tradition of Travel Medicine, in which sellers often appeared unnecessary and sometimes even harmful domestic drugs through Vaudevillian Entertainment.

Medicine contained about 12 percent of alcohol, as well as vitamins B and minerals such as iron, calcium and phosphorus. ContentLa also diluted hydrochloric acid, which, as Leblanc claimed, allowed the formula to absorb more easily into the body. A small bottle is usually sold for $ 1.25 in USD (USD), while a bottle of larger size usually brought $ 3.50. Leblanc successfully sold this patent medicine through multiple campaign, which included old travel drugs, traditional advertising, comics and jingly.

According to Leblanc's claims, adults and children could very much benefit from Hadacol. Adults and children over 12 years of age were advised to mix one tablespoon with half a glass of water four times a day. Children aged 6 to 12 years of age were recommended that three tablespoons were carried four times a day, while children aged two to six were recommended that they were carrying two tablespoons of a day four times.

While those who used Hadacol often state that it released their symptoms, United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)No evidence to support Leblanc's claims and was obliged to withdraw them. The Federal Office for Investigation of the United States (FBI) found that the only doctor who approved Hadacol, Dr. L.A. Will, in fact, carried previous convictions for practicing medicine without a license. Finally, Leblanc sold Tobey-Maltz Foundation in New York, an organization dedicated to cancer research. However, the foundation quickly found that the company was deeply in debt and that they, not Leblanc, were responsible for repaying creditors.
