In 1909, Ernest Shackleton took "Forced March" brand cocaine tablets to Antarctica, as did Captain Scott a year later on his ill-fated journey to the South Pole.
Sample bottle of "Forced March":[1]
- "DIRECTION - one to be dissolved in the mouth every hour when undergoing continued mental strain or physical exertion"
- Coca plus kola: invigorating pep-pills from the UK branch of Burroughs Welcome and Co.
- Discontinued circa 1920 due to excessive demand.[2]
