| | Dr. John S. Pemberton - inventor of Coca-Cola Nation's Restaurant News - Find Articles |
 | | It was a prohibition law, enacted in Atlanta in 1886, that persuaded physician and chemist Dr. John Stith Pemberton to rename and rewrite the formula for his popular nerve tonic, stimulant and headache remedy, "Pemberton's French Wine Coca," sold at that time by most, if not all, of the city's druggists. |
 | | Notwithstanding Pemberton's numerous professional and entrepreneurial accomplishments, however, Coca-Cola historians characterize him as "a local pharmacist" who concocted the world's most craved soft-drink syrup in a three-legged brass pot in his backyard. |
 | | King further noted that Pemberton, who practiced medicine and surgery as a young man and later became a trustee of the former Emory University School of Medicine, earned a solid reputation for his skill in chemistry and his work in medical reform. |
