 At the start of the 20th century, when high standards of hygiene and sanitation weren't as widespread as today, parents often found their babies suffering from a frightening illness called cholera infantum. It struck suddenly, causing severe diarrhea and vomiting. Parents and doctors had little success in treating it other than by letting it run its course and hoping for the best. Imagine, then, the reception to a new formula effective against the symptoms of this illness. The formula was concocted by a doctor in the state of New York, at his home. He called it Mixture Cholera Infantum. The mixture effectively relieved the dangerous diarrhea that accompanied the illness. Norwich added the remedy to its catalog for medical professionals, with the product name Bismosal: Mixture Cholera Infantum. Bismosal's name was changed in 1919 to Pepto-Bismol. The name change made it easier for Norwich to promote the product for use by adults. As Pepto-Bismol, the product became Norwich's leading nonprescription drug. Pepto-Bismol came to the Procter & Gamble Company as part of the company's acquisition of Norwich Eaton Pharmaceuticals in 1982. It's now sold in several countries around the world.
