| IN THE 1920'S, THE ADLERIKA COMPANY OBTAINED THEIR PATENT FOR THE MEDICINE THEY INVENTED IN 1902, AND PATENTED IT AS ' ADLER-I-KA '. IT WAS ORIGINALLY INVENTED TO TREAT APPENDICITIS PRIOR TO THE FORMATION OF THE ' FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION '. THE NAME ADLERIKA WAS INVENTED AS A ADAGE FOR ' DR. ADLER'S CURE FOR APPENDICITIS ', BUT WAS BEING MARKETED AS A MEDICINE FOR GAS IN THE STOMACH OR BOWEL, AND AS A CURE FOR CONSTIPATION AND HEARTBURN. THE INVENTORS WERE ACTUALLY CHARLES AND EARNEST WESCHKE ( WESCHCKE ) AND THEY WERE THE SONS OF DR. CARL WESCHKE ( WESCHCKE ). IT IS NOTED THAT THE DOCTORS DROPPED THE NAME ' DR. ADLER'S CURE FOR APPENDICITIS ', AND BEGAN CALLING THERE CONCOCTION ' ADLERIKA ' AFTER THE NEWLY FORMED ' FOOD AND DRUG ADMINISTRATION ' INFORMED THEM THAT THEY COULD NO LONGER USE THE WORD ' CURE ' IN THE MEDICINE'S NAME AS THERE WAS NO PROOF THAT THIS ' MEDICINE ' ' CURED ' ANYTHING. IT WAS FURTHER NOTED THAT THERE WAS NEVER ACTUALLY A ' DR. ADLER '. THEY CONTINUED TO SELL THEIR POTION, ADVERTISING IT AS A TREATMENT FOR CONSTIPATION AND HEARTBURN, BUT, IN 1944, THE ADLERIKA COMPANY MET ITS DEMISE AND EVENTUALLY BECAME ' CHESTER-KENT, INC '. ADLERIKA WAS A MINNESOTA COMPANY. IT WAS FOUNDED IN ' NEW ELM ', AND THEN MOVED TO ST. PAUL ( AT THE CORNER OF FILLMORE AND WABASHA ). |
