Cocaine is regarded today as a major social evil and as a medical
problem of vast proportions. Only a century ago, however, cocaine was
believed to be a harmless stimulant and cure-all. Highly Respectable
scientists such as psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud experimented with cocaine.
The original 1886 formula for Coca-Cola included three parts coca leaves
(the source of cocaine) to one part cola nut. The original Coca-Cola was
advertised not only as a refreshing beverage, but as a medicine to "cure
all nervous afflictions - Sick Headache, Neuralgia, Hysteria, Melancholy,
etc."
